 Oops.  "4800 bos" should be "600 bps" (a 1-byte fifo drained 100 times
 per second gives at most 100 cps or 1000 bps; 600 gives a safety margin).

 RELENG_5 stil has a reasonable default for HZ (100) so the maximum cps
 wth a 16-byte fifo is 16 * 100 * 10 = 16000.  I guess you use the default
 and don't use a 2400 bps modem that would work with a max of 16000.

 Lost characters would be reported as silo overflows.  Any protocol with
 error handling would recover from a few OK.
