Well, it is possible to use 57kbaud on ALL Macs, but use the communications
port. So, given a proper baud setting for the tty you are working on, the mac
should have no problem at all with the 38kbaud which is the maximum for the
NeXT. There is only one "little" snag: some older Mac software is too slow...
and you might use hardware flow control if possible.

Good luck!
