- Perhaps that should also include the change of signaling on pin 12. It
- used to be low was 300 and high was 1200. When the Hayes 2400 came out
- it was pin 12 high was 2400 and if it was low it was not.

- At the same time that modem was released I saw a couple of other, NEC
- and AT&T come to mind. They brought out an additional pin to use with
- pin 12 so you have 4 states of speed detect in hardware.
