In the 'real world' if you have 19,200 BPS, it takes the place of, or is
equivalent to EXTA.  On the old PDP-11 interfaces just had a '1 of n'
selection where EXTA and EXTB didn't have assigned speeds, but could be
jumpered to random bit-rates.  On the PC, the rates are established by
loading a divisor into the INS8250 chip.  If EXTA doesn't give you 19200,
then you should be able to patch the divisor table to suit...
