- Nope, its definately set with the locked DTE and everything. Sportster
- Vi's are just broken that way. Even regular USR Sportsters don't exhibit
- *this* particular problem, with the same computers, just the Sportster
- Vi. It works at 38400 - if the DTE was changing to DCE that wouldn't
- work. It just doesn't work at 57600 or 115200 (in addition to problems
- with error correction negotiation, v.34 negotiation, recognizing people's
- voices as faxtones, and general flakiness).
