I wouldn't even use 38400...the transfers screw up at or around 9600, even.
2400 baud seems very stable, as far as i can tell. slightly more errors
when i get to 9600, but over 19200 pushes the limit on the number of errors
you can stand :-\
running ppp over the device is something else, but the getty driver can't
handle it. (from my experience, anyway, like trying to use slirp or zmodem
file xfers)
