Well, y'know, 33600 is the speed that two modems talk to each other,
it isn't the speed of the TTY port. This isn't about Ultrix, it's
true on anything at all... Valid RS232 speeds are:
300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400
Additional speeds which are non-standard, but universally used because
of a quirk in the original IBM PC hardware design are:
57600 and 115200
Now, it's probably no surprise to find that your DEC Ultrix machine
doesn't like 33600 as a speed. It is also unlikely to be very pleased
by 57600 or 115200. If you are lucky, you just might have support for
38400, but much DEC hardware didn't support it. Chances are, the highest
speed your machine will support is 19200.
