I did this a looong time ago (in ABasiC) by talking to the serial port
myself - read the Hardware Manual. Alternatively, you can set SER: to 31.2K
from Preferences, although performing I/O to SER: won't give you the
asynchronous performance you want.

Why, Why didn't you post this to an Amiga newsgroup??
