Jrcomm is very very nice at speeds above 9600.  At school, I have a direct
connect 19.2k baud connection.  Jrcomm works flawlessly.  Very quick
and very fast.  One other note:  the zmodem in jrcomm has to be the fastest
out for the Amiga.  Downloading, I usually attain 1800 cps whereas my
MAC roomate is lucky to hit 1400 cps with ZTerm!  One note two:  wb1.3
doesn't allow for serial speeds of 38.4k or above, but the MACs do.
The highest my Mac friend could get with 38.4 connection and zmodem is
1730 cps, while a 19.2k jrcomm is beating it with 1860! 
 
Give jrcomm a try.  If you've never used zmodem, get it!  It's availablr
for almost all platforms (vms, sys v, bsd and ultrix, mac, ibm, amiga, atari st,
 etc.)
