You are correct. There are serial boards/ports that are capable of over
115,200 which is merely a "standards" constraint set by Intel/IBM at the
early stages of PC Development.  Many of the serial boards used by BBS's
Internet providers routinely go over 115,200 more commonly 230,000.
You do not need special drivers in all cases however, our AMQUEST
HyperModem will set the DTE rate at 230,000 using STANDARD software
you already own.  You simply set it at 115,200 and it through our
proprietary firmware hardware on the modem defaults to the higher
230,000 throughput rate maximum.  You are however correct in that most
if not all other approaches ie: Hayes ESP apparently require special
drivers
and special additional hardware and special new software to do the same.
Note: This is our Internal version of 28.8 and 28.8 voice products called
AMQUEST HyperModems.  They also have more powerful microprocessors
and better compression so that they can hit rates up to 230,000 over a
standard line with compression.  YOU DO NOT NEED ANYTHING ELSE
IT IS ALL BUILT INTO THE MODEM WHICH IS BASED ON A TURBOCHARGED ROCKWELL
DESIGN.
