Actually in my copy of 1.2 (Gamma 1, haven't got the release stuff yet)
you can select 31.25K baud from preferences for the serial device. 
Then it is simply a matter of opening the device from your favorite
language (I use the C syntax fp = fopen("SER:","r+); setnbf(fp); )
then fgetc or fputc seems to work fine. 

What we really need is a midi device handler but until I get a lot more
spare time than I have I will have to just wait and see.
