You're thinking of 115,200bps which equals about 10KB/s - oh, yes you are :)

An 030 can just about be poked into running a port at that speed. An 060 with
a little less difficulty. But 1Mb/s? Oh no :)

My Silversurfer & Portplus claim support for 1Mb/s but I haven't had an
opportunity to test them.
