I find this surprising.. but I guess it depends on what you're running on
your 386... DX33 and DX40 were perfectly happy with 16450s at 19.2, but the
bottleneck on these direct serial lines were the clients, mostly some flavour
of Apple II.

Certainly single task DOS, or even DesqView could manage it. Mebbe if you're
trying to Windoze it, it'll struggle.
