This is a very un-informed response. "just can't deal with it very well".
It is the Computer and serial port which "can't deal with it very well".
Most modems do indeed RECOMMEND 115,200 port speed *if the computer can
handle it*. Some modems recommend 57600. Not too many.

V.34 compression optimumly compress 4->1. So a 28.8 NEEDS 115,200 for
maximum efficiency. A 33.6 modem needs 134,400 !
