Lpc2000

Friendly amendment,

you can run at 7.3728 MHz and as fast as 460.8 kbit/sec without any
errors, this would also include the 115200 with zero error. If you do
not plan to use the PLL at all, you can use this or even go down
further. The secret is to select a crystal that is an integer
n*16*115200 for zero error. Lowest possible frequency would be 1.843
MHz. So it is not the speed primarily, the divider which is an integer
from your clock rate to the desired baudrate is the key.

Closest to your desired frequency and still able to use the PLL, which
requires a min of 10 MHz, would be 11.059 MHz 

If you use the LPC2148 or the newest LPC2103 these devices have a so
called fractional baudrate generator which enables other than integer
dividers and would provide accurate 115200 also with 10 MHz.
