Good guess, but I'm actually trying out a 3COM ISDN TA that runs at 230k.

  Not me.  I checked the PC16550D specs recently.  The maximum speed is
  1.5Mbps like I remembered.
  
  If you only care about remote gdb throughput to an sio port on a
  FreeBSD host, note that the protocol is non-streaming so it is limited
  to 1 packet per clock tick (30Kbps effective throughput at best) by the
  host's pseudo-DMA timeout routine.
