Once upon a time, a kindly hardware engineer explained this
to me. Because of the clock rates, what Sun boxes (up to an
Ultra 2 at the time -- I don't know if it applies to boxes
later than that) represent as 57600 is actually something in
the ~52000 range. This is because of a difference in clock
rates. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here. So two
Suns can talk to each other at "57600" and above, but you
can't talk to another component that is actually talking at
57600. The best rate I was ever able to use was 38400.
