In order to change speeds, the Systems file entries must refer to
different entries in the Devices file and the /etc/gettydefs files.
As:
zebra Any ACU24 T2400 5551212 "" \r\d\r ogin:--ogin: goat sword: xxxx
zebra Any ACU12 T1200 5551212 "" \r\d\r ogin:--ogin: goat sword: xxxx

The Devices file will probably require references to different entries
in the Dialers file in order to set up the modems properly.
As:
ACU12 tty000 - T1200 tb1200 \D
ACU24 tty000 - T2400 tb2400 \D

Of course, the OBM entries in Devices are:
ACU ph0 ph0 1200 PC7300
ACU ph1 ph1 1200 PC7300
These don't have entries in Dialers as that is built in.

I hope this helps.
