Hmm, well there's no setserial in FreeBSD.  I have "speed 38400"
set in mgetty.config though.  I managed to find an old Swann V34 modem and
my very first modem, a Telecom TEL 424.  The best I could get was a 2400
baud connect.

I tend to think the answering modem is faulty or that the line quality is
so bad that the modem can't deal with it.  Sending a fax to it has been
perfect though, so the line is probably not too bad.  It's a Genius
GM56flexE-G2, set to factory defaults (AT&F).  I might need to hunt
around for another modem I think.

The Swann V34 was useless on the answering side as it hangs up shortly
after the CONNECT FAX when being called from a fax machine (newish
Samsung).

Andrew
