Hello

	The serial ports on Suns go at a maximum of 38.4 kbaud. Of course
changing a divisor in the kernal can easily double that. I communicate
with all of my 28.8 modems at 38.4 and I let the modem worry about the
actual baud rates over the phone line. You need to have a look at your
/etc/gettytab file and learn how it interacts with the /etc/ttytab file.
Should be fairly obvious. There are also baud rate settings in the eeprom
and in /etc/remote, though each are quite independent of the other, I like
having all of my settings for a given port the same.
