DD>> how one sets the LOCKED speed.

It is how one locks the speed TO BE USED WHEN ANSWERING CALLS.

If your software managed to answer the phone you would find that that was
the speed that all the data was comming in at.

Is your BBS answering the phone if you tell it to use the baudrate that is
stored in the NVRAM (by an AT&W or equiv)?

Isn't a bug an error in the programming where the software does not behave
as documented?  Where in the documentation does it say that incomming calls
will communicate with the computer/terminal at the speed set by the last AT
command?

Is there any mention of the speed reverting to that set by the last NVRAM write?
