I was in touch with a company who sells a communication program
for the IBM-PC and has a capability of communicating at 19.2K bps.
Most serial cards for the IBM-PC that I know of are only pro-
grammable to 9600 bps (according to documentation).  The company
mentioned that the standard (IBM) serial port could be configured
to rates of 19.2K bps, and even as far as 38.4K bps.
     
Anybody know if this is possible?  Is it a hardware modification
on the port, or undocumented software change?
     
Thanks in advance for any information!
