Hi Benjamin.
First for incoming lines.
Check your /etc/gettydefs first.
Then check your /etc/inittab.
You should have a line with the data for the selected speed like

a0:3:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty -h -t60 ttyd2a5 38400m # Dialback Modem

where 38400m is the definition from the /etc/gettydefs.

For outgoing lines you should take the cu command. Please check the manpages of cu for details.

Hello Benjamin,
you can use "sam" to create the device files and the
entries into "/etc/inittab". Go to "Peripheral Devices"
and then "Modems and Terminals" and create the
entry for your modem as "dial-in & -out" UUCP modem
When it comes to *speed* select "2400", it will be
7 data bits, anyway.
To test it you can use "cu".
Do yourself a favour and read the book "Managing
UUCP and Usenet" by Tim O'Reilly - you need it!
HTH,
