It should be possible. Several years ago (around '96) I had a Mac LC
doing PPP over a null modem cable with an x86 linux box. I don't
remember for sure what speed I had it running at, but I'm sure it was at
least 38400. That was with Mac OS, not linux (which won't run on the
LC), but it does indicate even old Mac serial ports are capable of doing
at least halfway decent speeds.
