Responding to my own post, I've got a little more info. I borrowed a
Gateway Telepath xjack pcmcia 33.6 fax/modem, and it works fine at 33.6K.
Conclusion: something about my serial port (16450) and the serial driver
is garbling data. The internal modem on COM2 and the Hayes modem on COM1
both give lots of checksum errors and slow transfers at 14.4, while the
pcmcia modem works well.
