Hi Rob --

man cfgetispeed
man cfsetispeed

And similar for output speed: cf[sg]etospeed.  The data stored in the
termios structure is not directly the baud rate; POSIX says you use
these functions to go between the termios data and the Bnnn baud rate
constants that Don mentions.

Also some (most?) systems return success from tcsetattr() if _any_ of
your requested changes are made, so you should double check with
tcgetattr to be sure your changes have taken.

Regards, ........ Charlie
