Okay, I'm still confused.... When I use my A3000 running AmigaOS
(running term3.4), I have no problem using my modem at 57600; however,
you are saying that my A3000 running NetBSD is unable to run at this
speed... [Also, I understand that there is a replacement serial.device
that runs at 115200]

Can someone help me to understand this?
