It should not be.  It's definitely not needed for any recent modem
(I think my Discovery 2400P needs it, because it has no error control,
and no buffering to handle different speeds...).

Ah... the wonders of the FreeBSD ports.

Which version of mgetty is that?  If it's a current version (1.1.14
and up), it's obviously still maintained, so maybe someone should talk
to the port maintainer, and make sure that he doesn't fiddle with the
default settings!  It makes support much harder for me if some defaults 
are changed to insane values, like in this case.
