You don't need setserial, you can set all locked rates in mgetty.conf. You
may need 19200 for fax, that depends on the modem. It depends on the OS how
fast you can set the locked baudrate for data but 38400 should work at
least.

I found that the most important part was the modem init string. Some modems
in factury default don't lock baudrate but switch baudrate instead. Also the
handshake setting in the modem is important. Mgetty works well if the modem
uses hardware flowcontrol.

Here are some example inits (without fax support):

# Dynalink 1428EXTRA
port ttyS0
#speed 57600
speed 115200
modem-type data
init-chat "" ATZ OK
"AT&F&C1&D2W2B0M0\\\\V1\\\\G0&K3S37=0\r" OK

# US Robotics Sportstar
port ttyS1
speed 57600
modem-type data
init-chat "" ATZ OK "AT S0=0 &C1 &D2 X4 &B1
&H1 &R2" OK
