And, beliebing those who are complaining about baudrates other than 300,
1200, 2400, 9600 because they (might) break old software, it is wrong
because it does not 
1. document current practice in technical standards and
2. provide (correct) FTS document interpretations on software compatibility.




Farvel, Udo!
