The chip can do 76800bps, with an error rate depending on CPU speed behind it. But this is not really worth anything, as modems don't support that speed. This all depends on the the input clock given to the chip on sun boards. You can get faster as that by letting the chip do different bit samplings, i.e. only 4 sample interval per bit, but this dramatically increases the error rate on async interfaces (which makes it unusable with modems, again). All in all 38400 is it. Eddie C. Dost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
