Hi there Jonathan Waland, I believe it was you who said:

If you're happy with your AmiTCP setup, then there's no reason to use
miami, except curiousity :)

It's down to the speed of the custom chips and DMA bus more than the
processor, so this doesn't apply with a serial card.

I use AmiTCP, ppp.device and a MF3 with no problems at 115200, so it
/should/ work for you.
