And since the retrain comes straight after the connect, how
would you know?  You're not using BTPE, so what's the delay
between the CONNECT string and the start of the Zmodem
transfer.  Hmmm???

Whether or not you think it is "only a problem with me", it does
not alter the fact that "nobody ever reported it".

Yeah, I just got used to the Maestro SE 9600 not being able to
