19,200 to be specific. ;-)
I cannot quote where I've seen it, but I've seen it many times,
the computers serial speed should be, at least, double the interface
speed.
i.e., You may see an improvement in throughput as your serial speed
approaches double data speed, but probably not much more at higher
speeds.
