That's right - terminal software is supposed to be operated by a person
capable of logical thought.  This person is supposed to be able to read the
bit in the manual where it says to ensure the software and the modem are
set to the same speed.

Name a termianl that answers the phone and communicates with the entity at
the other end.

Then set the fucking thing to the same speed!  Are you stupid or something?

A bug is something that happens contrary to documentation.  The resetting
of the modems settings to those stored in NVRAM with ATZ is definitely
documented.
