Yes.  Take a standard serial card and replace the 1.8432MHz crystal with
a 3.6864 MHz crystal..  ;-)  Your "115200" speed will magically run at
230.4Kbps.

I did it a long time ago, and if you're not one for soldering, I may have
a pair of souped up cards if you're interested in buyin' em...  or you can
go get the Hayes ESP serial cards.
