I think it's generally necessary to do  O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK  to open a
disconnected serial port, then set CLOCAL with termios, and finally
turn off O_NONBLOCK with fcntl.  Of course, for just setting the speed
it should be enough to change the open().

I prefer to use tcgetattr and tcsetattr than ioctl, although the end
result is exactly the same.

Although it describes *how* to do it, it's a bit short on what and
why.  You could try looking at the source for things like minicom, dip
and pppd.
