300 Baud Support on Visor?

I know, why in the world would someone care to communicate through the HotSync port (using an RS232 cable) at 300Baud. The hardware I'm wanting to communicate with, unfortunately, is limited to 300 Baud.

I contacted Handspring to see if there was a patch for the OS to allow it, the Support person said he gets 2 calls a year about this apparent bug and they won't fix it. If I setup the PC to talk to the VisorPro through a direct serial connection, it works fine at 1200+ Baud. However, if I set the COM port for 300 Baud I get some odd characters (or wrong characters). Repeating this same experiment on a friends VisorDeluxe works fine, just not on a Visor running PalmOS 3.5.2H1+.

On to my question: Anyone know of a hack/app/etc. that will allow a VisorPro to communicate down at 300Baud? I know weird request, I'm shaking my head too

TIA!

Now if I could just keep her from making those long distance calls on my VisorPhone...
