RE: A new serial baud rate

["Neil Everton" <neil@gemini-it.com>]

Hi,
	I may be wrong here, but 14400 isn't a 'serial' baud rate it's a 'modem'
baud rate.

	I'm not aware that serial ports can port at 14400, they usually run at 9600
or 19200.

	Most modems (unless they are fixed baud) you can talk at speeds other than
the connect speed.

	Also I believe that 14400 is only 9600 with compression !!!

Regards
Neil

Hello Gary !!!

Thanks for your answer. Please see comments no the text.

That's the problem. I can't change the modem configuration cause this modem
are provided by the Telco. I have to use this baud rate. And I wanna use it
with Linux.

I just wanna know what is the procedure to insert this new baud rate in the
linux kernel
