   There is no such limit.  If your 3270 emulator will allow
   faster speeds, you can run at 64 Kbit or even higher...as
   long as the FEP has the proper hardware.  

   Neither NCP nor VTAM care about the baud rate for 3270 in the
   gen....it is part of the link parameters...unrelated to LU or
   PU daffynishions.

   A lot of the smaller Unix boxen can't run faster, but a
   PC with a smart card or a Unix with smart front-end certainly
   can.
