I will be dropping down from 57600 before too long, in an attempt
to see if that has a bearing on the Zmodem errors I see occasionally
on EC connects.  Since I have a decent modem, I only need change
the software, autobaud does the rest.  I'm not even sure what 
speed I did the last AT&W at on the Netcomm, I think it was 57600
though, but I don't actually care (I don't need to care, I've got
a modem that autobauds properly).

PM> Well I won't try and guess what you really want to use your modem for,

Actually I use it on a BBS only at the moment, but I occasionally
change my locked baud rate, and would like the modem to figure out
my new locked baud rate for itself, instead of me having to 
explicitly tell the stupid machine what it is.  Autobaud is not
some new invention.

What would you use on a dumb terminal?  Until about 2 months ago,
I was using a WYSE terminal at work, communicating at 19200 bps.
I would increase the rate to 57600 if the terminal server could
handle it, in which case a V.34 modem using V.42bis compression
would work quite nicely.  I could work from home with no loss of
speed.  BFN.  Paul.
