One of my major concerns though, is whether or not it has an automatic fallback if in case the lines are too noisy to support the fast transmissions. Does it also support 300 baud calls (originate)? There are still a few BBSs that I call that only support 300 baud, though most have 1200. Are there any problems switching to the slower speeds? The $189 for the modem just seems too good to be true, but I'd really like to hear more about it. --- David M.
