[NTLK] serial ports (eg #3) questions

So, how easy/hard is it to make use of these
other serial ports/channels in practice? If I
have an LTC1323 or whatever xcvr how do I
get access via the software side? For example,
I'd like to be able to use Hammer on one port
and download a pkg on another so I can see what
is going on with the pkg install for example.

Also, what is involved with making these
serial port speed pkgs? (eg the 57600 Serial)
And are there any faster ones? If not why -
I thought that the hardware was capable of
higher rates.?.
