- Well, it is possible to use 57kbaud on ALL Macs, but use the communications
- port. So, given a proper baud setting for the tty you are working on, the mac
- should have no problem at all with the 38kbaud which is the maximum for the
- NeXT. There is only one "little" snag: some older Mac software is too slow...
- and you might use hardware flow control if possible.

- Good luck!
