I'm mostly working from memory here, so apologies for any unintended
slipups.
You have to install a package on the Newton, IIRC it's called
"ser115200.pkg" (there is even a "ser230400.pkg", but I've never tried
that speed.
Next step is editing the .unixnpi.rc file (which you should have copied to
your /home directory at installation, as the readme file says) and change
the line "speed=xxxxxx" to the appropriate speed.
You also need to set up a port, but that can easily be done by creating a
symbolic link /dev/newton, pointing to /dev/ttySx (whatever the serial
port is you hook your Newton on).
Come to think of it, I don't really know why I've never tried the 230400
bps speed. I'll give it a go next time I hook up my newt to the box.
