That was me.  There was an old routine verifyModemRate or something like
that which served no purpose (as its often-faulty verification result never
took effect anywhere) and made a lot of noise while it did that lot of
nothing.  So we got rid of it and replaced it with a simple check at the
outset of faxaddmodem:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
# Test selected modem speed against a list of known standards

if [ "$SPEED" != "" -a "$SPEED" != 38400 -a "$SPEED" != 19200 \
   -a "$SPEED" != 9600 -a "$SPEED" != 4800 -a "$SPEED" != 2400 \
   -a "$SPEED" != 1200 ]; then
   cat<<EOF

Warning, you have selected a DTE-DCE communication rate ($SPEED) that
differs from known standards. $SPEED may not work correctly for sending
and receiving facsimile: check your modem manual to make sure that
$SPEED is acceptable.

EOF
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Consequently, if you feed it something like 'faxaddmodem -s 115200 ttyS1'
then you are going to generate an error here, which may not be a problem,
though.  I really wonder if such a high communication rate is even
desireable here, though.
