I saw some serial cards at www.dalco.com that use the standard 16550 UART, but
they have an oscillator jumper to make them go up to 460kb/sec.  I would
imagine that the standard serial driver would work with these.  I believe that
software still sets the port at 115,200, but the hardware is running at the
higher speeds because of the oscillator.
