Yes, Your port speed is too low.  This is saying that your modem is sending the
information to your computer too fast.  So rather than slowing the modem down,
speed the port up.. I use 115200 on my X2, and have considered going to 230400 
(or whatever that speed is!).

You are setting the speed at which the computer talks to the modem, not the 
speed your modem talks to your ISP.
