Actually, with Linux you can customize the baud for any baud you wish:
First, you calculate the <divisor> by dividing the UART's fastest rate
(115200) by the BAUD you wish. When I wanted 45.45 I did
115200/45.45 = 2534
Then, set the desired TTY port's UART with that information:
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 spd_cust divisor 2534
Next, You tell the UART to use a custom speed divider (spd_cust)
by setting the UART to the magic speed of 38400.
/bin/stty -F /dev/ttyS0 38400 cs5 raw -cstopb -echo
So: 66 WPM would have a spd_cust of 2304 and 100 WPM 1536.
For more info, do a <man setserial>.
