As is now usual enough, the modems on our phone lines speak both 1200 and
300 baud, and some of them speak 2400 as well.  Their autobauding sequence
goes from high speeds to low ones.  I've noticed an interesting phenomenon
on the rare occasions when I dial in using the 300-baud built-in modem in
my Model 100:  I get a bit of trash, probably the login message at 1200,
and then all by itself the system decides that I'm at 300 baud and gives
me a 300-baud login.  Understand, this is without my ever touching a key
and without the Model 100 being programmed (that I know of) to send anything.
I'm not complaining, but I don't understand why it happens.  Our system
definitely wants a framing error to tell it that it's got the wrong speed,
and I don't see what I'm doing that would cause one.  Any ideas?
