Could someone tell me what the baud rate divisors are for a modem?
I'm having no luck in trying to hack them out from trial and error.
Basically, I am writing a terminal emulator, and need to know what
the divisor words are for the baud rate generator, where the low and
high bytes are writen into ports 03F8h and 03F9h, respectiely.  All
I have is that 300 baud is 384, and operating at 300 baud these days
is torment for any normal hacker.

Any help will be much appreciated.
