Maybe you have made the same error I made: to connect to my ISP I
wrongly specified 38400 as modem speed since it was the only speed I
found in the documentation (manual pages and HOWTOSs). After
replacing 38400 with 56400 (I found this value only in the setserial man
page) I noticed an incredible (probably ~2x) speedup.
