Hi Mike,

so are you saying it is the 7.3Mhz uart clock that limits the uart baudrate?  
After reading the EP93XX Manual I encountered the following: 

"UART2 contains an IrDA encoder operating at either 
the slow (up to 115 Kbps), medium (0.576 or 1.152 
Mbps), or fast (4 Mbps) IR data rates. It also has a 16 
byte FIFO for receive and a 16 byte FIFO for transmit. 
Note: USBm[1] and USBp[1] are not bonded out. 
USBm[2,0] USB Negative Signals "

I assume UART1 is for COM1 and UART2 is for COM2, I am really confused of that 
paragraph then....... 

what do you think of getting a USB to serial board:
