Although it may be possible, I've never had any luck with it.  IIRC, the
lower end models (SS1, SS2, IPC/IPX) don't have great uarts; I believe
they have small or nonexistant FIFOs in them.  I've never had anywhere
near blazing performance on my SS1, SS2 or IPC.  YMMV, though, as I gave
up without too much experimentation...

Hope this helps,
