But back to your question about low connection speed in debian.

1. If yu have a Pentium (-> fast serial port) and at least a 28.800
modem, check if setserial is setting it to the highest speed.

Edit /etc/rc.boot/0setserial and change STD_FLAGS="session_lockout" to 
STD_FLAGS="session_lockout spd_vhi"

Check man setserial for more info.

You could also try to increase the priorty of your serial
port. Install the hwtools package. By default it will make irq4 = com2 
top priority. Check /etc/rc.boot/hwtools and man irqtune.
