It would be advisable NOT to run your built in serial port at 57600 baud,
period.  The Amiga serial port really isn't that good, and unless you use
a BIG buffer and a lv 6 interrupt, expect dropout, CV64 or not.  Since the
CV64 kernal probably does not have these settings turned on, expect the
worst.

I found that a setting at about 38400 baud works fairly well, even with
smaller buffers.  It really doesn't limit you much unless you are using a
new 33.6KB modem, always get 33.6 connects, and transfer uncompressed data
a lot.  8)

If you have the spare do$h, I suggest that you look into the Multiface
serial cards.  I had one in my A4000 w/ a CV64 and a 4091 and never had
any problems.  Now I have it in my A3000 and it runs great at 57600.
