There used to be a feature for the IBM 3276-2.  This resulted in a dip
switch being installed that you allowed you to manually select BSC (max
speed 7200 bps) or SDLC (max 9600).  We made good use of it 6 years
ago.

At these rates, it might be wiser to consider a new model IBM 3174-91R
plus 3299-2 mux, considering the maintenance, added functionality etc.
