NetBSD-Amiga before -1.2 (before -1.1B if I recall exactly) does only
allow the POSIX standard baud rates. (I wrote the patch myself to allow
intermediate values on the internal serial port, which can do them in
hardware).
I propose that you change the computer-modem baudrate to the next higher
one. The modem will buffer (normally ... _really_ old technology modems
don't have 14400 bps at all).
Btw: While NetBSD-1.2 will allow intermediate baud rates, you probably
dont want to use them with with modems. Many modern modems I know of
only sync at the standard values, especially if they have automatic DTE
rate detection. Check your modem handbook.
