Though the 38400 swap-out works fine, I'd rather keep the real 38400
and use a low one instead. I mean, I still have a Radio Shack modem
that speaks only 110 baud, but it isn't seeing regular use, shall we
say. :-)
There are problems with swapping out a low-baud rate slot --- some
programs, most notably emacs, but also some of the termcap/terminfo
libraries, try to be "intelligent" and change their behavior basied on
the baud rate of the tty under which they are running.
If you haven't run into this, great! But be aware that this is a
potential problem....
