Most things that you want to do with data take a while to do, so the
marginal benefit of running the serial link at 230kbps instead of
115kbps is quite small--certainly not enough to justify adding some
relatively rare and expensive hardware.


I appreciate the increase in one application - the serial connection to the Linux server/gateway.

Just out of curiosity, what is happening to the data in that case?
Is a lot of data going *from* the Apple or *to* it?  (I presume that
it's being transferred to/from a fast I/O device.)
