Yes. I have run FreeBSD serial links with 16450 uarts at 115k...hooked up to a 7100 PowerMac. At that speed I did have a character here and there dropped. There was never any problem at 57k even on a loaded system (eisa bus, 486/66, 16MB). I don't know precisely how hard the mac was hitting the line. With my ByteRunner serial board with 16550's 115k wasn't ever a problem. -- Daniel
