I successfully changed the baud rate on our LaserWriter Plus to 19200 baud
(the fastest that our MicroVAX II terminal board seems to support), but I was
unable to change the baud rate on our 'original' LaserWriter.  It failed with
a 'rangecheck' so I assume that it can't go faster than 9600 baud.  The PS
program that Amanda Walker posted did not include the 'exitserver' command
that is needed to access the 'statusdict', which is probably a good idea as
anyone who doesn't know about 'exitserver' should not be messing with the baud
rate anyway.  Thanks for posting this info!
