- You can use speeds up to 115200 bps under linux, either by using
- setserial in conjunction with other comm programs, or by just using a
- comm program that supports high speeds directly (currently only Seyon
- does that).
-
- I doubt though that you can attain throughputs of more than 38400 if
- you're using phone lines (i.e. in contrast to using a null-modem
- connection), so setting the DTE speed to more than that may not be
- justified.

- All the best,
