Setting my mind back into 68k mode from MkLinux mode....

There should be no trouble with using either port for login connections,
although 57.6 might be pushing things a little.  It's not that hard to set
up, though.  Just edit /etc/ttys and change the appropriate line,
increasing the port speed from 9600 up, and replacing the off with on.
Also, you'd probably be well served to change it to insecure (don't allow
root login, I think).

Hope that helps,
