This sounds like a problem to me.  I currently have Telebit Trailblazer
Pluses installed on clients machines connected to Equinox Megaports.
These ports and the modems have their speed locked at 19.2, and the modem
does the baud rate converstions.  The other ports are usable with the
Telebits receiving incoming traffic -- even 1MB news batches.  Sounds
like you may want to try out another brand of intelligent serial ports.
I have finally found one that I am fully satisfied with.  

Please note, I am not affiliated w/Equinox, I am just very impressed with
their products.  Blah, blah, blah...
