- Are there any Communications programs out there for
- linux which will let me set my modem speed to 57,600???
-
- Step 1) Grab the "setserial.tar.Z" file from tsx-11, in
- /sources/sbin/setserial.tar.Z. (this is a relatively new
- version; if your version is more than a week or two old, grab
- this one. :-)
-
- Step 2) Either compile setserial.c, or extract the included binary.
-
- Step 3) run "setserial /dev/ttysXX SPD_HI"
-
- Step 4) Run any communication program which supports 38400 bps, and set
- the speed to 38400; the serial port will really be going at
- 57.6kb.
-
- If you want to use 115kb, type "setserial /dev/ttysXX SPD_VHI". To
- reset the serial port so that 38.4kb means 38.4kb, type "setserial
- /dev/ttysXX SPD_NORMAL".
-
- To set 38.4kb to mean any serial rate you want, calculate the divisor
- for the uart as by dividing 1843200 by the desired baud rate, and then
- type (substituting the divisor for dddd) "setserial /dev/ttysXX SPD_CUST
- divisor dddd".
