You can use the internal serial port, but effectively you'll be limited to 
57600 bps as a top modem port rate on an accelerated //gs.

You can also put in a Super Serial Card and change the crystal frequency in it 
so that the 19200 baud setting can generate a 115.2k speed, but again you'd 
need an accelerated Apple to do it. Re the crystal freq, I've heard vague 
rumors it's possible - can someone else confirm?
