19200 bps under AIX 2.2.1 (the manual pages lie, extb doesn't work).
Also keep in mind the magical 50 foot limit on RS-232 cable lengths.
Personally, I've been able to squeeze more out of 'em, but I've also
seen things get *really* flakey when I've stepped over that line. Fortunately,
the third-party serial boards (eg: Dickens) didn't suffer from this abject
stupidity.
