Hi Corby I havent checked Liberty Basic but I believe it does support 
57.6kBd.. I have definitely used this speed on PowerBasic for Windows which 
is a "latter day" upgrade of Borland stable, I believe, but very is very 
different to GWBasic or QBasic (which is also limited to 9600Bd) and is much 
more like MS Visual Basic which also support 57.6kBd but with totally 
abysmal support on comms interfacing. That was why I moved to PBfW which has 
a good working example that could probably be hacked for your purposes. 
Their API is a lot easier to understand too.

I hope that helps I am sure other will have their thoughts. Moving code from 
GWBasic to another flavour just to chnge the speed might not be completely 
trivial :-))
