This is great info, but made me curious -- are you implying that the Power 
User modem for $99 works *only* at 2400? If so, does anyone have any
advice for whether it's "safe" nowadays to not be able to go down to
1200? (I haven't done any BBS-ing for a couple years; I know that back then
you needed the 1200 baud option...)

Thanks for the info,
Tom A.
