While more RS232 applications use speeds up to 19200 bps, there are several
products that talk 115kbps.  Some are LAN-type products (EasyLAN), while others
are for connecting laptops to machines with larger disk drives.

How does this work?  Is it RS-422?  Can it work in a multi-drop application, or
is it only point-to-point?  It would be nice to connect a PC to a mini-computer
at speeds like this; is there a way to make my 3B2 or VAXen connect to this?
			Thanks;
