	You didn't mention that with the Microcoms internal buffering,
the speed of the modem line and the speed of the rs-232 line are independent.
I set my terminal up for 2400 baud on the serial port and I don't have to
change it even when I call into a 1200 baud line and the modem autbauds... nice.
One complaint I do have, though I don't know how much of a concern it is: When
the modem is set to 2400 on the computer and a user dials in at 1200, it
shifts to a citt standard for 1200 baud, and not bell 212. I haven't tested this
with a bell 212 modem yet, so I don't know how much it affects the transmission
quality.
