pppd can deal with any baud rate, but the serial port can't. 57600, 38400,
28800, and 19200 are the highest standard rates.

Nope. Though if you had an external clock at an odd rate, we could use it.
For instance, that's how MIDI devices work - the supply the serial port
w/ a 1 MHz clock, and we get the 31250 or so baud rate from it.

Take care,
