Time the sending of a 1000MB file over the cable, and...

I tried this and was seeing roughly 100 KBytes / second with a baud rate set at 115200. So this looks right to me.

Maybe the problem is the number of stop bits, or the parity.

I see the same funny characters.
Its definitely something funny with the speed settings, connecting 2 ports
on the same card with a null-modem works fine.

This suggests a brute-force solution.

That said, looking at their instructions for using another card with Linux, there may be a non-volatile register on the card for storing a base baud rate with respect to which everything is divided; their instructions have the user boot under DOS once to run a utility that sets the base baud rate for the card
to 920kbps, then tell the Linux serial driver that the card's running at
920kbps.
