I have an LC2+1Sp; there's PDF documentation at http://www.magma.com/ .
It ran beautifully on a SPARCstation 1 with a 56kbps modem under SunOS
4.1.4, until recently. I have not tried it under NetBSD (we switched to
ADSL and no longer need a modem link). Certainly solved any overrun
problems. It definitely supports 115kbps, maybe even higher.
