db> I take it this is a GoodThing(tm)?

From a technical viewpoint yes.  From an impressed viewpoint,
yes, I'm impressed.  I've never seen a modem do that.  It's
quite amazing.  The lights just blink.  I LOVE IT!  From a
comical viewpoint I don't get to hear people connecting, but
I just smile that I can't hear them.

Probably 48 means "fuck Bill Grimsley and his cohorts like Dieter
fucking Mirbach".

db> Quite right, typo on my part - it is of course %M1.

Which I have.

PE> ...the #B1 I don't understand

db> So try this: "AT ? #B" - the output should be:

db> #B   B0 and B2 1200bps originate mode
db>        = 0*B0 = V.23, B2 = V.22
db>        = 1 B0 = V.22, B2 = V.23

db> I use B0, which can either use V.22 or V.23 in its auto connect speed 
db> detect routines, so I've selected (via #B1) that I want V.22 instead of 
db> V.23.  In many ways its a moot choice since I don't plan any connections 
db> that slow anytime soon - but it's there, ready, for when (if) it's needed.

I still don't quite understand.  If I understand you correctly,
currently if I dial out, and try to connect to a 1200 bps modem,
e.g. Bit Blitzer 123, I will get a "CONNECT 1200/75"?  Whereas
if I set #B1 I will get a "CONNECT 1200"?  BFN.  Paul.
