Serial ports are an inexact science, especially with imbedded systems. Just jiggle the handle until it works and be happy when it does. Probably the designers of the phone system did away with parity checks and handshaking because they had trouble implementing it and is not needed for control applications and short runs. Handshaking makes speeds greater than 9600 baud possible
