The 9600 baud rate only applies to the bit rate of each character. The
Borland/Pentium problem can drastically change delays between characters,
timeouts, etc. (Feeding the characters too quickly or timing out too quickly
can blow up a comm protocol pretty easily.)

I run mine on a 133MHz Pentium laptop all the time and have never seen any
comm problems. I've never tried it on anything faster.
