Thanks Martin,

I have found the cause of my problems. It seems getty waits for the 
Carrier Detect line to be asserted before sending anything to the 
serial port. Telling it to use the "clocal" option resolved the 
problem. And with hardware flow control the prot works just fine at 
115200bps. All I needed to do was modify gettytab a bit.
