The Rockwell does not do anything illogical.  Tell me something
illogical about the way Rockwell auto-baud detects.

Now tell me what on earth is logical about the USR communicating
to the terminal at two different speeds for the "OK" and the
"RING".  

It's either a bug or a design fault, take your choice.  BFN.  Paul.
