It's fundamentally wrong, since it doesn't allow you to instruct harware
that can do 230401 to do so; supporting all the settings would require
2^64-2 entries in gettytab on alpha (only 2^31-2 on i386).

More practically, 230400 is not supported by the sgtty emulation, and
several tables of speeds, e.g. speeds[] in rlogin.c, end at 115200.
