Yup.  I get a message "CONNECT 38400" when it does this.  Plus my manual also
mentions this feature (and the ad I saw before I bought it did as well)  I have
heard that they have been busily updating ROMs and perhaps it started out only
able to talk to the Mac at 19200 but this was later changed?

This reminds me....I bought mine in February and (lazy me) still have yet to
send in the warranty registration card that's sitting in my desk.  Have there
been any major bug fixes (I haven't any had problems though...) since then that
anyone who *has* sent in the warranty card can tell me about?  If not, maybe
I'll just continue to be lazy and wait to send it in until the postage rate
increases (again) :-)
