Subject: 9600 baud limit on serial port?

The subject line says it all. I've seen a couple of people saying
that there's a 9600 baud upper-limit on the NeXT's serial port.
Is this a software or a hardware limitation? I want to run SLIP
on the NeXT at 19.2kb, so this is important to me. On a related
note, does the serial port support siloing or DMA of any kind,
or does it work on an interrupt-per-character basis? And just how
many serial ports can you get on a NeXT machine?

Thanks in advance,
