Thanks for the reply, however, I did check for the serial ports uart type.
Its up to snuff for the speed. In addition, setserial reported it set to
manage 115200 with the correct irq. No conflicts were shown in the proc
file system. As far as I can tell, nothing was wrong.. *shrug* Someone
mentioned the modem trying for constant retraining of speeds... I have no
idea if thats the case here, but maybe its worth a shot..
