In article # 10455@dutyche.cair.du.edu,
Steve lindahl asks about 9600 baud and 19.2Kbaud modems for the C 64...

Sorry, but absolutely not. The C64 uses software to emulate a 6551 ACIA and is
incapable of any speeds above 4800 - 2400 with any reliability.

If you want higher speed, you'll have to do what I have done and build an ACIA
to plug into the cartridge port. (Mine is hooked to my Hazeltine, Hazel, so
I can do VT emulations/imitations.)
