Yes, if they did indeed design it that way, then it is a design flaw, since
there is absolutely no reason to be deliberately changing the speed to
something you KNOW is wrong (you just autobauded so that you know what the
correct speed is).  I have not seen any message from USR confirming that
they deliberately designed it that way though, so it could be a bug rather
than a design flaw.

Unlike what the Courier users in here like to suggest, it is not even
documented in the courier manual that the USR autobauds AT ALL, let alone
that it experiences this incredibly stupid behaviour with ATZ (only).  BFN.
 Paul.
