According to bob at ns.UUCP (Robert J. Mathias):

The problem may be with SCO's uugetty, which doesn't recognize the
correct names for the higher line speeds.  The old uugetty, when
interpreting /etc/gettydefs, uses the old Xenix names for 19200 and
38400.

To "fix" this problem, in /etc/gettydefs, create an entry just like
the one you wanted to use, except that "B19200" is replaced with
"EXTA" (the old Xenix label for 19200 bps).  Then change /etc/inittab
to run uugetty with the new gettydefs entry's name.
