- The serial port does not support speeds of 14.4K. Usually, you will lock your
- port anyway.. That is, the modem and computer always communicate at a constant
- speed, despite what speed you're connected at. EG your modem/PC could be talking
- at 57,600bps while you're on the actual line at 300bps. You use your comms
- software at whatever speed you've locked your port at, so you don't need 14.4K
- speed anyway.. You'll get better throughput too.
