Sure there is,  sorta,  though it's a little cumbersome.  Here's a snip
from the doc file with the pertinent parts:

             17.8. Conditional and Flow Control Tokens

             These tokens allow you to conditionally display different
             parts of a file, depending on various user attributes and
             system settings.

             [b1200] - ^w^b1

                Display the rest of the line only if the user is connected
                at 1200 bps or above.

                Using this construct, you can use the [b1200] token to dis-
                play a line only to users who are calling at a speed slower
                than 1200 bps:

                [b1200 goto FastUser]
                You are a 300 baud user!
                [goto Done]

                [/FastUser]
                You are a 1200 bps or above user!
                [/Done]

             [b2400] - ^w^b2

                Display the rest of the line only if the user is connected
                at 2400 bps or above.

             [b9600] - ^w^b9

                Display the rest of the line only if the user is connected
                at 9600 bps or above.
