I think the re-written-from-scratch serial.device that is due out in
1.4 will do more good than replacing the chip with the 16450.  "From
what I'm told"* the serial.device currently being used is a real beast
(slow, uses more CPU time than it needs, buggy... well, we all know
it's buggy) and has been re-written completely and will be able to
keep up with higher baud rates while using less CPU time.

Ah, to wait for 1.4... like waiting for love knock at your door, the
more you think about it, the longer it takes.

In a poetic mood,

P.S.  Tony, can the new version of Vt100 include higher baud rates in
the menus?
