UART Baud Rate

Does anybody know how to run a SOPC UART at slow baud rates, such as 100 Baud? I have some serial information coming in from an FSK demodulator ported to the data in on a standard UART. The problem...

yes, it must sound quite odd to ask for a UART running that slow. I actually think I'll be going with a custom UART. The demodulated data coming from the filters and moving reference detectors actually contains either steady FSK code rates, ASK code rates, or FSK data. It is the FSK data that is modulated at the other-end using older processors (i.e. 6809, etc..) that is able to mix the data at the slow rates (this is a mass-transit train application)

thanks!
