- Every comm program I've seen that supports speeds higher than 38400
- will usually support 57600 and 115200... I don't know where the 56000
- spec came from, but I suspect that it is incorrect.
-
- MY modem specifies supporting 1200,2400,4800,7200,9600,12000, and 14400
- raw speeds with DTR rates of the above with 19200,38400, and 57600 added.
