If you supply more info, one of us should be able to help.
Details, please, details!

I don't know where you heard that Esix has problems running at 9600 baud.
There is some Esix-bashing going on and I think it is unjustified.  Anyway,
I don't think this shows that Esix is having trouble at 9600 baud:

Do you?

I am running Esix Rev D on a 386/25, 300meg SCSI disk, 8mb ram,
Adaptec 1542b SCSI host adapter, Telebit Trailblazer (and HST, etc)
modems, a generic 2-port serial card, and an AST 4-port (dumb) card.
I don't have a 16550 installed (yet), and am using the stock Esix
asy driver.

The one thing I will say is that with a dumb serial card, there IS a 
significant load placed on the system when doing high-speed transfers.
