Not so. With High Speed Serial Templates (henceforth HSST), my MP2100 won't
connect to NCU at 57600, although the Docs mention speed up to 115.2 kBd.
Try as i might, i'm not able to find Serial57600, at least not at AmUG,
Clausthal, NewtonCage, NewtonMAD...; nor by Altavista, WebCrawler...
So could you please upload it somewhere & tell about it?
TIA...

OK. According to your tips i replaced (exported .reg files contents)
--- REGEDIT4[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple\Newton Connection Utilities\Communications] "COM3"="enabled COM3:38400,n,8,1 Seriell 0 : " --- with --- REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple\Newton Connection Utilities\Communications] "COM3"="enabled COM3:57600,n,8,1 Seriell 0 : " --- This was a rather obvious location & patch value and i really ought to have found it looking myself instead of bothering others... 8^)

Indeed it does, as Regedit hastens to show.

Experiences with different values:
115200 w/ HSST: NCU starts, notices, disagrees, ends. Close, but no cigar. 57600 w/ HSST: NCU starts, notices(?), runs. Newton tries to connect, fails. 38400 w/ HSST: NCU starts, notices(?), runs. Newton tries to connect, connects.
