Well ... that's just about all programs, they all mess around with
the UART registers to set baud rates > 9600 (XT) or > 19200 (AT)
because, AFAIK, the Int 14h services do not cater for baud rates
higher than this. I wonder if that's the problem - the software here
relies on Int 14h services to set baud rate and hence cannot set
anything beyond 19200?

Joe.
