[NTLK] Serial Communication Speed Boosters

I recently came across a package ("Ser57600.pkg") that works in conjunction
with a patch on NCU to allow 56kbps transfer rates over serial. It's amazing
how much faster transfers are now than before. But I also found two other
packages that can boost serial speeds to 115kbps and 230kbps, but only on
UNIX. Since many older Macs can transfer 115kbps, I am led to wonder why is
the limit set to 56kbps. Would anyone happen to know?
