It's only the one complaint about ATZ's lack of autobaud.  The
rest of it is debate about whether it is a bug or not.

I fully intend to.

However, that doesn't address the issue of whether it is a genuine
bug/design fault or not.  Why did you not answer the simple question
above, WHO is being pleased by the modem changing baud rate after
an ATZ?  Certainly no comms program or terminal that I know of.
That's like saying the Spirit II double-sending bug is a feature
not a bug, you can't please everyone, some people like to look at
the MR light flashing whilst doing a file transfer so that they can
have a mini-disco and boogy to rock music.  :-)

BFN.  Paul.
