I am not sure if the code of MacOS for "support arbitrary serial speeds" is valid in Linux, the code in pyserial (https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/blob/master/serial/serialposix.py <https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/blob/master/serial/serialposix.py>) is:
> elif plat[:6] == 'darwin': # OS X
> import array
> IOSSIOSPEED = 0x80045402 # _IOW('T', 2, speed_t)
>
> class PlatformSpecific(PlatformSpecificBase):
> osx_version = os.uname()[2].split('.')
> # Tiger or above can support arbitrary serial speeds
> if int(osx_version[0]) >= 8:
> def _set_special_baudrate(self, baudrate):
> # use IOKit-specific call to set up high speeds
> buf = array.array('i', [baudrate])
> fcntl.ioctl(self.fd, IOSSIOSPEED, buf, 1)

can the equivalent in C work in linux or the other unix?.
At the moment I only use SqPronterface in mac (MacBook Pro or iBook G4) connected to an Arduino Mega controlling a Prusa Mendel printer.
