Direct Cable connection

O

Oldster

I have a direct cable (back-to-back) connection between COM ports
between a desktop and laptop machines both running XP Home. This runs fine
at 115200 bps. I was wondering if there was any way of speeding this up?
There was a way of changing normal(!) modem speeds to 921600bps at one time
or so I believe.

Probably not. The UART chip in the serial port has an upper speed limit and
AFAIK that's about it for most of them.
