There are device serial ports that can run higher than 115 kbps, such 
as in the USR Courier I-Modem, which requires a high-speed serial 
card in the 210kbps range (such as the internal serial adapter card 
made by Hayes) to take advantage of v42.bis compression beyond the 
128kbps ISDN rate.

Realizing that the 701 serial port ceilings at 115kbps, I'm now 
trying to find a PCMCIA serial adapter for my TP701Cs that goes 
beyond 128kbps.  I've seen some advertised here and there in the past,
but now that I'm looking for one I can't find one, go figure.

Thanks...
