   This code is actually untested, since I never had a need to
   use it. I suppose I should test it, really, just to see if
   it actually works. [ ... ] Well.. It works, but I still
   can't get it to do 115200 bps. Oh well... There must be
   something else involved I'm not taking into account.
   Anyway, here it is.
   The addresses for comm 1-4 are included in it.
'_|_|_|   SETBPS.BAS
'_|_|_|   Untested subroutine to set BPS rate on an open COM.
'_|_|_|   No guarantee or warrantee is given or implied.

DECLARE SUB SetBPS (port%, bps&)

   Div& = 115200 \ bps&: hi% = Div& \ 256: lo% = Div& AND 255
   OUT port% + 3, INP(port% + 3) OR 128
   OUT port%, lo%: OUT port% + 1, hi%
   OUT port% + 3, INP(port% + 3) XOR 128
END SUB
