I posted this once before but I guess it never made it out.
I am running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 (RELEASE) on a 486/33 with 8mb.
I am trying to use tip to talk to another machine connected
by null modem ... and if I try to communicate above 19200, I
just get garbage when trying to connect with TIP.

Is there something special I need to do to get higher comms rates?
I'd expect to be able to do at least 38400 if not 115200!

I am trying to connect to a LINUX box on which I have a getty running
at 38400.

Thanks,
Bill
