I'll make one more post on this issue. You will notice that most of the popular bit-per-second rates are 2400*2^N, where N ranges from 0 (2400 bits per second) to 4 (38,400) bits per second. However 57,600 and 115,200 multiply in a factor of 3 (ie: 57,600 = 19,200 * 3, and 115,200 = 38,400 * 3). So, a good crystal that would work with zero error for all these rates would be any multiple of: 16 * 2400 * 2^4 * 3 or: 1,843,200 Hz The largest such value < 4MHz is 3,686,400 Hz The largest such value < 20MHz is 18,432,000 Hz You will find crystals in both of these frequencies readily available.
