The C64 has no problem running at 1200 baud.  I have a Hayes SmartModem
(1200 baud) which I use at home all the time.  There are plenty of modem
programs out there which support 1200 baud -- but NONE in Basic.  Basic
just can't keep up with 1200 baud.

I wrote my own simplistic (no upload/download) 1200 baud program, but I
had to do it in assembly language.

If you want to buy a good modem program, you might check out Compute's 
Gazette -- they usually have hordes of ads for these.  One program that
looks attractive (but I haven't actually seen one yet) is VIP Terminal
from Softlaw, Inc.  80 column software display, upload/download, etc.
