Rob,
Why do you call this a disadvantage??
I dont believe it forces a lock anyway, unless you specify the speed on the 
command line, tho I didnt read into the docks that much..  Just enough to get 
the board on line..  :}
I've always found locking my comm speed between the comp & modem to give me 
the best thruput..  Its not a major increase, but every bit helpz..
Let the modem handle the phone line..
JMHO anyway  :}
