we have telebit 2500+ modems connected at 19200 baud to our series 800 for
uucp connections & dialouts. we are very pleased with the effective xfer rates
of those modems and had never problems with the lack of hardware handshaking.

(btw - it would be nice to get rts/cts handshaking from you, hp, instead of 
 programming our own again & again ....)
