Hello.  I am interested in gathering information about devices that allow
baudrates exceeding 19200 baud.  So far I have heard about the upcoming release
of software that configures the DSP port as a high-speed serial communications
device (Yrrid Inc.) and a software/hardware solution that allows the SCSI port
on a NeXT to be a serial interface at 56kBaud.

Does anyone know the approximate price of the SCSI solution?  I heard a rumor
(actually more than a rumor) that the price on the DSP solution is going to be
under $200.  I wish to research both of these devices and compare their
functionality/performance.  If you'd know any answers to the questions above,
please e-mail me at:

or reply to this newsgroup.  Thanks much,
