And I was right - the latter.

BG> Table B.3--&F1 Hardware Flow Control Default Template

Note - DEFAULT.

BG> Word length*               8
BG> Parity* 0                  None
BG> DTE rate* (Kbps)           19.2    _

Indeed, that is EXACTLY the default I would except.  I am MORE
than HAPPY that the default on my USR is now 57600.

BG>         &B1 Fixed rate.  Default.  The modem always communicates with the 
BG>             computer at the rate at which you have set the terminal or 
BG>             software, regardless of the connection rate.  

SET THE TERMINAL OR SOFTWARE.  I have now set the terminal or
software to 38400, and I thus expect it to communicate at
38400.  In fact, it DOES communicate at 38400.  Only the 
rings come in at 57600.  Now show me a quote that says it uses
one baud rate for the RINGS, and a different baud rate for the
response to the AT commands, and the software is expected to
chop and change all the time.

ROFL!  Hey, at least it's only a bug rather than fucked by
design.  BFN.  Paul.
