      Someone told me that there exists a default baud rate for each
      tty in the kernel, and it is tricky to get the port to handle
      different bauds. Something like the port had to be opened *originally*
      at the desired rate, and held open at that rate. This did not sound right
      to me. I also remember some discussion here a while back about exactly
      this problem.

This is a typical UNIX case for outgoing modem lines with *no* getty that
programs the port settings (as with ingoing lines and getty spawned).
That's the case where you need to override the default setting with 
a program that opens the port, does ioctl on the port settings and keeps
the port open until doomsday.
