To the best of my knowledge, the baud rate is only a factor in actually achieving the connection with the modem. If you dial the modem, and manage to negotiate a mutually agreeable baud rate (done automatically for you by the modem protocol), and your modem reports "CONNECT <rate>", you should be able to talk to the underlying/listening application at that rate, unless the recipient modem is badly set up. I haven't seen many applications where the baud rate is actually hard-coded, or enforced. Most applications are happy to talk as fast as they can, hence the use of flow-control protocols . . . Determining the parity settings is a slightly different task. As I understand it, the raw data received can be "post-processed" to determine the parity settings. I also have not seen any tool to do it, but I understand that ToneLoc actually does this "auto-parity" determination somehow. Somewhere on my hard drive I have some terminal emulator programs that have parity calculation routines in them. I got them off the net, so you could probably find them faster than I can at this point! (I found them about three years ago while trying to write my own war dialler in perl!) Good luck!
