I've heard that the serial ports on the Mac (all machines) can communicate at up to a megabit (1024Kbaud??) per second, unclocked, and 230.4 KBaud, clocked (this is Appletalk speed, yes?). I'm interested in doing high-speed serial communications with some instrumentation, and I was wondering how to set the baud rate that high. Using SerReset only allows me to go up to 57.6 kbaud. On IM vol 2, page 254, a call is described that allows you to set the baud rate to any value, which is supplied as an *integer*, which limits me to 32K baud. I think. Is this true? How do I get the most speed out of the ports, in terms of baud rate? Thanks in advance for any help. -Rich
