For all who are interested, call Epson Accessory Marketing, 800 873 7766.
I think they can sell you a 57600 serial/parallel adapter made by Jonathon
Freeman Technologies for about $75. Only drawback is the thing has ROM and
RAM and a processor built into it which give you lots of fancy features which
completely screw up your printing, so it comes with a DA which disables all
the fancy features to make it actually work. If you can live with having to
kill it with a DA every time you turn it on, that is the cheapest 57600 baud
interface I know.

(If anyone has heard details of a Korean clone without all the stupid features
build it please let me know -- I've been trying to track it down).
