But even the "boosted" speed of 57.6kbps is painfully slow. Sadly, Mac
serial ports even on an SE/30 support much faster than this, on order of
128kbps and higher. I sure wish some enterprising Newton hacker/programmer
out there would hack NCU to support 128kbps. I would pay money for that,
actually. Yes, yes, I am aware of other "OS X options" that have a faster
transfer rate. But I still would pay good money for a hacked NCU that I can
use at a faster serial rate on my old Macs.

Best,

James Wages
