The UART chip or IC macro operates off of a fixed frequency.  The baud 
rate is set by loading a divisor for that frequency.  As the highest 
possible frequency is 115,200 the closest you can get to 50,000 is 
57,600 baud.  Given the vagarities of serial communications that has a 
good probability of working with 50,000 at the other end.  Just pay 
close attention to whatever check characters, check sums or crc's the 
other end uses.

If you do this with the Windows API, assigning the value CBR_57600 to 
the BaudRate DWORD member of the DCB structure is the setting of which 
I am speaking.
