Both the built-in modem and multiport serial ports have 16550AFNs that
should handle 115 kbps w/o problems.

I wasn't aware serial ports coudl run higher than 115 kbps. I'm not
sure how the hardware works, but I suspect this is a hardware limit,
since I've never seen a software option to go higher.
