If yuo want to run faster than 9600 baud then you may want to check
out one of the many comms libraries in the V2TK directory.

Some of the comms libraries are in assembly, some support multiple
comm ports, some support wakeup mode (9 bit parity), and some are not
maintained any more.

If you need timing libraries then there are also some in the V2TK
directory and don't forget Allegro also has timing functions which I
have stipped out and used in comms programs.
