Connect a Prop-1 to a RAPU

I am using a Brookshire RAPU to run VSA for a DMX application. Unfortunately, the RAPU does not have any trigger inputs. I was thinking of using a Prop-1 for the trigger input and then communicating with the RAPU through its COM port. Unfortunately, the RAPU COM port is fixed at 19.2k baud. Is there a way to setup the Prop-1 to do this? If not, can a Prop-2 do this?

No, the Prop-1 is limited to 2400 baud; the Prop-2 can handle 19.2K with no problems -- though we've never worked with the RAPU and we cannon guarantee that the Prop-2 will always work.  The Prop-SX may be a better choice as we can write a serial driver that can catch serial data at any time, something the Prop-2 cannot do (it must be sitting on a SERIN command to receive serial data).
