Try locking the port at 38400 instead of hunting at 57600.

I had luck running getty at 57600 or higher with 1.2 and up until
around 1.2C or D.  At some point it simply stopped working -- it
started working again only when I dropped getty to 38400.

I reported my troubles on current-users at the time, and was simply
told by several people to use 38400, and that anything higher isn't
expected to work.  I guess I had just been lucky in the past.

For dial-out connections using kermit etc., higher speeds seem to work
without trouble.  I don't know what the story is with getty.

Cheers,
