One that I've had good success with in a production environment is SilverWare's
SilverComm library.  It recognizes the 8250 to 16550 on PC's and PS/2's.  I
don't remember seeing who supports a 57600.  The library is in C and ASM with
source supplied.  They also have a dBASE/Clipper version.  It's supports
multiple port buffers and multiport serial cards.  They provide multiple ways
to read the data from the ports.  It's quite robust.  They also include
X/Y/Zmodem protocol transfer functions.  And terminal emulation support via
screen I/O functions.  Using the functions provided made the part of my
program dealing with serial I/O miniscule.  I believe that it supports up to
115K baud but I only used it at 19.2K.

Greenleaf is also a very popular library but haven't used it myself.
