Almost always this is the job of the application.   In the rare
exceptions, try

	# stty speed 115200 </dev/ttySx

where 'x' is your port number.

Setserial is for configuring the device-driver at boot-time, and has
nothing to do with setting RS232 communication parameters for general
use.  For most standard COM ports, you should never need to use setserial.
