I use emulex sc21 at 19200 on my aaa wihout xon xoff.  Use termcap
in litout litin mode so I can do delays with tty timing chars instead of
nulls (the aaa doesn't discard nulls coming in so they will bust it
just as badly as anything else).  Litin is my creation to allow something
like cbreak when using litout.  It definitely doubles the speed and is
essential if the terminal is used at 48 lines or above.  It did require
a certain amount of code hacking because the aaa can't be padded with nulls
though.  I suggest catting a big file single user on the vax and running
iostat -t on another terminal to see the max char rate and %cpu to support
it.  On my 11/50 19200 chews up about 20% of the machine.
