That would be 115200 but the device doesn't respond to that.

The more I think about it, the more confused this vendor is.  The card
is a wireless CDMA 1xRTT/IS95B modem. A pcmcia card with a 16550 on the
bus.  I'm almost positive the speed shouldn't matter because the other
end of the 550 (rxd/txd) probably doesn't even exist.  They've probably
only implemented the bus-half of the 16550 and the FIFO just drops 
data into and receives data from the CDMA controller.  I should be able to
talk to it at 300baud and still get full throughput.

I just need to find the right clue to speak to.

Thanks.
