The last time I looked at serial port hardware, UARTs took a base clock rate and divided it sequentially with flip-flops to get all the possible rates (they usually had some ugly logic to generate 110). You were limited to the specific rates the hardware gave you. Is that no longer the case? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
