Oh yeah, I should have mentioned my hardware setup. It's in my sig below.
As it says there, I'm using the Surf Squirrel high-speed buffered serial
port, which can go as high as 230,400 bps. So that's why I'm already
getting more speed than you could with the stock serial port. I'm
surprised you even could get as high as 56K with the stock serial, with
anything less than an 060.

By the Squirrel port's ability alone, I could handle max data compression
rate with a 56K modem. Though granted I'm not using the fastest processor.
But supposedly my A500 (stock '00) wasn't supposed to be able to do more
than 9600 (Surf Squirrel manual), and it could handle 19,200bps pretty
much. According to the Surf Squirrel manual, I quote "The Surf Squirrel
serial port can very comfortably run at 115,200 bps on a standard A1200."
And I have the 030, with an FPU, so no doubt it should be able to do plenty
more than that. My guess is there's some kind of trick to setting the
right increment of speed in Genesis. I think that's how Miami works too.
I'll have to experiment
more.
Regards
