I.e., my Hayes will send "connect 1200" at >300 baud and then switch. The things you speak of are generally in the domain of serial.device, which is perfectly capable of doing what you want (with the help of timer.device). You can't change the baud rate of an AUX: port once it's opened, you can only close it and re-open it, but this will drop DTR on the modem and (probably) make it hang up. I've seen mention of rexxserdev, but I don't know what it includes. It may be your best bet.
