MR>> USR based modems are able to set a maximum and minimum connect

Whether they DO or not is a different Story.

Mark Griffith here in Bris has a courier that is proven to connect

at 33600 on his line and is wanting to connect at 33600 to a bank of

Rackmounted Netcomms at HIS;-) university but no way.



Seems Netcomm knows better and WILL NOT BE TOLD to connect at 33600

to a Courier.
