I'm having identical problems and have tried many suggestions.  The
modem is also on the second serial port and only gets intellible
responses (and then only vaguely) when set at 19200.

Well after configuring tip to recognise cuaa1 I tried this and found that 
it just resets the port to 9600 when you exit.  stty -f /dev/cuaa1 speed
115200 (or 57600) does little for changing the speed of the port.

Can anybody lend a hand??

TIA,
James
