Bug#286402: Debian bugs #286402 & #285017 workaround

[Peter Cherriman <pjcherriman@yahoo.com>]

Hello, 

I saw you debian bug reports on your dialup speed dropping when you
upgraded to kernel 2.4.27.

I had the same problem when I upgraded from 2.4.26 to 2.4.27.  It limited
my connection speed to 9600 bit/s (about 1.5Kbyte/s).

It seems the problem is with requests to change the serial port speed
get delayed a sort of pipeline.

If you run the command "stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed 115200" 
and then run it again, then start your ppp connection, it will work
at its previous full speed.

I found if you do the command "cat /proc/tty/driver/serial"
you see the speed of the port doesn't actually change after the first
stty command.

Hope this helps...
