Hi Michael,

I had the same problem while ago myself! Found this great info... type this 
in a terminal (substitute your correct port number for "<XX>":

stty -F /dev/ttyS<XX> speed 115200

Typing this once will tell you what it is now set at (probably 9600), typing 
it a second time will set it to 115200. If that works, then if you want that 
port (modem) set to 115200 at every boot, do this:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

And add the previous line to the bottom of the file and save. In my case my 
modem is on ttyS14 so this is the line I added:

stty -F /dev/ttyS14 speed 115200

Of course there is an easier way, if you install Gnome PPP and set your 
modem speed to 115200 in there. Either way should work.

Hope that helps!

-Steve.
