How about using

stty -a -f /dev/whatever

to check what the baud rate is and

stty -f /dev/whatever speed nnnnn

to set the speed _after_ apcupsd has started (the serial port speed
is (was?) initialized to default value when the port is opened).

I know nothing about apcupsd, but stty _does_ set the port speed.. :)
