	Despite the last comment, I HIGHLY reccomend locking
the speed of the modem. I know someone that tried for a week
or two trying to get the T2500 to work like the manual shows, 
but never really got it off the ground. Furthermore I cannot 
picture were getty is going to get the connect string from, 
but then again I've always gone the locked speed route. The
connect string always seemed to be more for using cu
or some such dialout. I'm not even sure that the modem will
issue a connect string when someone calls in. There should be
a way to query it though. I'll look into it a bit more this 
weekend, but I have to say .. I would just lock the port.
I've seen 9600 baud modems for $179 US. At that, every one
should have one .. (excepting of course students :-)
