	I am running a 2.0.1 system.  I have recently put 2 28.8 modems 
on a couple of my serial ports.  As long as I run the 19200 getty on them 
they work fine.  If I run a 57600 getty on them they answer incoming 
calls, but instead of throwing up a login prompt, they throw up a garbage 
string.  Hitting enter a few times returns the same garbage string, and 
the line will then drop carrier.  I am using a Pc/8e digiboard, so the 
serial ports are using fast uarts.  The modems are usr sportsters with 
the latest dsp and rom revisions.  Has anyone used these modems with success?
