[GreenKeys] Jack Hart and i-Telex...

UARTS of various flavors are not my speciality, io cards like LAVA support 
the speed.
See http://lavalink.com/serial-cards/
I used to use ComBro cards, but I dont think they are available in the US.
Other cards will do too
However, what I have not been able to find out, is how to get the 45.45 
speed
