Are the Kansas City cassette tape storage PLL sampling 
routines still about?  Or hit ^h repeatedly, until sync is 
achieved, as we did in the old modem days .... 110 bps v 300 
on a good link with a Don Lancaster Pennywhistle modem ;)

As I understand the problem it may be that the signal could 
degrade from whatever max data rate the circuit is rated for. 
I am not aware of a resampling routine in any recent kit that 
CentOS ships
