How to change Baud Rate to let remote console displays right

I am using console redirection using a serial port. The default baud rate is 2400. So my remote console displays correctly only when it's set to 2400. But somehow I need to change the baud rate to 9600.

I added a statement at the line of config.sys

mode com1 baud=9600 parity=n data=8 stop=1

But the baud rate is still 2400 after reboot.

Anyone has an idea?

Oh....MODE is an external command, licensed by MS-DOS only. Does anyone know what is the equivalent command in FreeDos?

Look at http://www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm.cgi? ... r&dir=base. MODE is available as a freedos application, but it is probably not included in the freedos image of ubcd. So you have to include it yourself.
What a little surfing to http://www.freedos.org can help :) .
