Actually, several vendors have boards out that can operate at speeds up
over 100000 baud.  The Dickens Data Systems boards we use go up to 76800
currently.

I'm told that Codex has done most of the prototyping of the 19200 baud standard
and they are currently working with Rockwell to develop a standard proposal.
