The valid baud rates are listed in /usr/include/asm-i386/termbits.h
and 62500 isn't one of them.  I believe you'll need to patch your
kernel a bit like this:

It would seem a lot easier to just change the other device to 57600
or 115200, but I suppose there is a good reason why this isn't
possible in your case..

Cheers,
Andy
