Depends on your system, uart and software. If one of these components can't 
handle high-speed (56k or 115k) then you are better off where you are. IBMs 
com driver in Warp3 will not speak at 115k. Nor will most of IBMs IP Dialers. 
SIO can handle 115 locked rates, and InJoy can deal quite nicely with high 
speed transfers and settings. I have 6 ports on a single IRQ all locked at 
115200, one is used by InJoy for the internet, the rest are for the BBS.
