Consider yourself lucky. I can't go faster than 9600 bps! This is because I
have some cheap-o 16450 UARTs on my motherboard. What type of UARTs do you
and the Linux box have? What you need is 16550. (Under NetBSD, it tells you
when you're booting what chips you have. I dunno about FreeBSD. Anyhow, the
new version of Net fixes many of these problems, but 19,200 is still a no-go.
One solution is to get an "AST" card that has 4 16550-buffered UART com ports
on it. I think they're about $50... I will do this in January when I will
need those com ports again.
