Hi,
in theory you are right,
but a few days ago i had a problem getting corrupted lines in faxes
without any errors from hylafax.
modem is an ELSA Microlink 28.8TQV, which i had running with 38400.
i tried changing all parameters including handshake, but nothing
changed. my last try was to put the speed up to 57600 and now 
all received faxes are fine. no bad lines anymore....
so it seems to me, like you should set the serial linespeed to a 
very high value to avoid garbled faxes in some situations.
