In ZTerm 1.01, I choose Settings, Connection, Data Rate, 230400.  Then I set 
S95=60, so my CPS meter reports 115%, rather than 13%.  I do not use (or 
need) any other Comm software on my Mac, and only a few V.34 modems support 
230,400.  (Those who have 'tweaked' V.42bis for 8 to 1 compression)  The Mac 
uses the Zilog 8530 SSC for serial, not the National Semiconductor 16650AFN, 
the best UART chip for PC's.
