It is not how fast the bluetooth wireless portion is. It is the UART speed of 
the Coco that is the limiting issue. RS232 inherently is limited to about 
256Kbs mainly due to cabling. Short runs can have speeds  upwards to 3 
Mbps. A stock Coco3 at best is about 115Kbps. That is twice dial up 
speeds.
