the line is one that works for me, so it probably not mgetty itself which
has a problem with 115200. there are a few things you could check:
when the modem answers, is it doing it by itself by being set to
autoanswer, or is mgetty actually working it? what do mgetty log files
say?
do you have some confusion by referring to /dev/modem or /dev/cua1 in some
programs and ttyS1 in mgetty? its best to use only ttyS1. even if lock
files are ok, maybe modem is left in an unsuitable state.
try talking to modem with minicom. see if its possible to tell modem to
answer when phone rings or if it does it by itself. when mgetty is
running, minicom should be unable to use modem because lock file exists.
