RE: [ECOS] non-standard serial baud rates

["Trenton D. Adams" <tadams at theone dot dnsalias dot com>]

It's about time I setup my SMTP server at home.  I hate not being able
to reply to Discussion messages from home.

Anyhow, the baud rates are
4 kbps,
16 kbps,
64 kbps,
128 kbps

I don't know if these are standard for SSI interfaces or not.  Are they?

The baud rates are defined in io/serial/current/include/serialio.h.
That's the extent of the public API. You couldn't use a publically
defined baud rate. But there's nothing to stop you adding more (although
I would start it at an integer well after that corresponding to
CYGNUM_SERIAL_BAUD_230400), e.g. 100.

But what figures are we talking about? Perhaps it would be better for us
just to add them in the main sources?
