It is not "obvious", that is what needs testing.  The problem
could be a bug related to just the speed of the "RING" text.

It's had an ATZ from the terminal, so it has the potential to
autobaud, we don't know yet whether it really does autobaud,
even on ATZ, with the sole exception of the RING text.
