 I have na my 710 certain inconvenience with serial ports too.
In kernel-source the initial baud_base is 727272/16 = 454545.
It works up to 19200.

By many tests I can set baud_rate beetwen 46000 and 570000.
In this range serials works, ( with errors in ppp connection, but works up
to 115200).

In 710 parallel and two serials are in WDC 16C552 with external freq gen
7.3728 Mhz
div 16 (i suppose). It gives 460800.

Now, with correct baud_base 460800 minicom works up to 115200,
pppd works with errors at the same baudrate.

Still don't work serial mouse with gpm and serial driver in X.

What is baud_base on ttyS?  ?, You can test it by:
setserial -a /dev/ttyS?
