serial lines under 2.3

Is it possible to set the baud rate on a serial line without
having the line enabled and without doing an open and ioctl?
Something like  'stty 4800 </dev/tty2a' seems to only work
if the line is enabled. I need to have the line disabled
and be able to do things like 'cat >/dev/tty2a' at the
proper baud rate. When the line is disabled, it stays at
9600 baud. Is there someplace to set a default? There seemsed
to be nothing appropriate in /etc/defaults.

Advance thanx,
