Have you looked at stty -a < /dev/cuaa1? You may need to adjust the cuala1 port to get the settings you want. (the cuala1 port has the settings for cuaa1; the settings for cuaa1 are reset to cuala1's every time the port is opened.) If you are using ppp, you might issue "show modem" to see what ppp thinks is going on.
