 This has been the assumed standard because of the incredibly bad Kernel
RS232 routines in it..but Chris Smeets (in a telecomm conference on GEnie)
said he had some source written by someone he knew that would let the 64
crank at up to 4800 baud (because of a total re-writing of the rs232
handling)...I have yet to see this source, but I'm convinced that such a
thing is possible, with the right code.
