[TenTec] Orion Serial Connection Baud Rate

[Carl Moreschi]

The baud rate for the Orion is fixed at 57600 baud.  And a DOS program does
have a limiot of 9600 baud so I would say you casnnot do it with NA.  But CT
looks just like NA and is now free and does have a windows version that
works with the Orion.
