I've seen things about this on the RedHat list and the best I could
conclude is that the UARTs that DEC used on most of their LCA motherboards
are less than adequate in the buffer category (thereby making them
unusable above 38400).  This puts a BIG damper on anyone using serial
ports for anything but older modems :(  Supposedly, newer mo-bos are
equipped with better UARTs, but I can't confirm this.
