Read the fine manual.  Page 4-22 says that the modem stores the com port
rate in NVRAM along with the settings.  When an /ARQ connect is made the
modem searches the NVRAM for the specified serial port rate to switch to.

I know this relates to &B2 but it is the only place I can find the
speed of the locked port mentioned (I am sure that I have read it somewhere
else though).

If you want your port & modem to lock at 38,400 you must send an AT
command at 38,400 followed by an &W to write that speed to NVRAM.

If you and the owner of that USR are convinced that it is fucked, then I
would like to offer him $50 for it.  USR Couriers work perfectly well at my
place, especially when I dial my host who uses someother brand modem.
