That may be either a limitation of the USB <-> Serial 
interface - or the software you're using.

And PCs.  Can't try with Macs anymore - as the last one we 
had (not counting the relics in storage) is gone.

Well, back when Macs had "real" serial ports - it was easy 
to configure those ports to interface with a TTY.  These new 
(Intel) Macs - I don't have any experience with.

In theory, at least - the CP2102EK that's mentioned here 
every-so-often should work with Macs just fine - since you 
can "substitute" a "real" baud rate for a "requested" one.

That would be the direction I'd look at...
