You are, of course, correct.  However, many devices /do/ allow higher 
speeds (which would provide lower timekeeping jitter), but there is no 
easy way to tell ntpd about the higher speed.  I see that flag1 and flag4 
are unused for this driver, so that might be a way to pass the port number 
and baud rate under Windows.  E.g. flag4 19200.

(Perhaps the port number is implied already by the unit number in the 
address?)
