I guess not. Found this in sio.c:
static  struct speedtab comspeedtab[] = {
        0,      0,
        50,     COMBRD(50),
        75,     COMBRD(75),
        110,    COMBRD(110),
        134,    COMBRD(134),
        150,    COMBRD(150),
        200,    COMBRD(200),
        300,    COMBRD(300),
        600,    COMBRD(600),
        1200,   COMBRD(1200),
        1800,   COMBRD(1800),
        2400,   COMBRD(2400),
        4800,   COMBRD(4800),
        9600,   COMBRD(9600),
        19200,  COMBRD(19200),
        38400,  COMBRD(38400),
        57600,  COMBRD(57600),
        115200, COMBRD(115200),
        -1,     -1
};

So I guess 115.2kbps is as fast as the sio driver will do.
