That's if you have the new UART. Those stuck with the older UART's are limited
to 38400. And if you are going to buy a new serial board for speed, why not get
an $90 Ethernet card instead?

The Pipeline do have debugging tools. The problem is that the manuals don't
talk about them. If you are familiar with Ascend, you'll know to enter esc -
esc = to get to the debug mode.
