While you could, of course, change the OS to match your needs (after
all, that's why we get the source code), the easiest solution is
to use setserial (from tsx-11) to change 38400 to 57600. I do
this in my rc file and it works fine. I fire up kermit, tell it to
use 38400 and connect to my 14.4k modem at 57600.
The only problem with this process is that kermit still reports using
38400. I can ignore this.
Enjoy.
