We have a bank of Practical Peripherals 2400/MNP modems attached to a Sun
3/260 (ALM-2) running SUN OS 4.1.  We currently have them configured so that
the connection between the modem and the host is always at 9600.  This runs
fairly well when the calling modem is also a PP 2400 MNP, but when the calling
modem is at 1200 then the connection does not appear to honor XON/XOFF
correctly.  I presume that this is because of an interaction between the
buffer in the host modem and flow control between the modem and the host.

Does anyone have hints as to how to configure the modem/host to correctly
handle calling modems of 1200/2400/2400 MNP?
