- Look in your modem's manual for the command that locks its interface speed.

- It's an option. For instance, on a UNIX system, I would not want to lock
- the port at 38400 and leave it locked for a 300 bps connect; for one thing, vi
- would not optimize its screen redraws. <grin>

-
- All modems have the same problem: locking port speed is *optional*.
