There is no such limit on the hardware.  The software arbitarily is
limiting the speed to 38400.  Each port, with the correct software,
can range in speed from 50 bps (or slower) to 115Kbps.  I've used them
for years.  There is also no reason why you have to run each port at
19200 *or* 38400 - this again is an artificial software limitation.

As I'm now 'back', so to speak, I'll be helping to remove some of the
restrictions in the software that exists today.
