Sure a VT420 works reliably at 38.4kbaud ... I used one for years 
connected to a terminal server like that. Can't help with the wiring 
problem, but I'd stick to using ttyd[12] for a terminal. 

Is XON flow control not working at all ? Check the stty settings ... my 
SGI turns it off by default. You can turn it on with 'stty ixon'.

Later Wyse terminals were not too bad at speed ... I've had my Wyse 160 
running reliably at 57kbaud without problems, but I've always used some 
sort of flow control.
