I it is a way.

cflags -> B38400;  /* set the baud to 38400 */  

static int pos_set_28800(int fd) {
     struct serial_struct serinfo;
     int ret;
     if ((ret = ioctl(fd, TIOCGSERIAL, &serinfo)) < 0) {
    	   fprintf(stderr,"Cannot get serial info\n"); 
     } else {
    	   serinfo.custom_divisor = 4;
			/*  Baudbase 115200/4 = 28800 
				     115200/8 = 14400 */

	   serinfo.flags &=  ~ASYNC_SPD_MASK;
	   serinfo.flags |=  ASYNC_SPD_CUST;		
	   if ((ret = ioctl(fd, TIOCSSERIAL, &serinfo)) < 0) {
	        fprintf(stderr, "Cannot set serial info\n");
	   }
     }
     return 0;
}

or set it with setserial.

It's running with kernel 2.4.xx
