...I have had my Handyboard receiving from a GPS and tranmitting to
a TNC at 4800 baud.  Initially did it with IC, but am now using GCC
for my code.  You can just poke a value into one of the HC11
registers to change the baud rate.

Ah, I tried this, but it breaks the pcode serial connection.  IC on the Mac
side seems to demand a 9600-baud connection and can't compensate for
different rates.  I suppose I should move to a different C compiler, but I'd
lose the interactivity which comes in so handy during debugging.

Ah!  I see the problem.  If you really wanted to do it, I'm sure you
could scan through the Mac software to find where the baud rate was set,
and then change a few bytes.  It might take some time to find it though.
You could also ask Newton Labs for ideas on how to do it.  They might
point you to the right bytes to tweak or if you're real lucky perhaps
send you a new binary with a different baud rate by default.

Agreed on the interactivity.  The biggest strong point for IC.

Good luck,
