Because there is very little Linux software that adjusts the TTY speed
according to what follows the "CONNECT".  I suspect that it might be
possible to convince mgetty to do it, but minicom and pppd won't.
Also, a 14.4K connection can sometimes get more data - I got 3K/s
downloading some Postscript files.
