I seem to remember reading about autobaud a long time ago.  I don't
know if I remember it properly, but I seem to recall that 2400 baud
was a special case.  If my memory serves me, at slower baud rates
(below 1200) two carriage returns were necessary, separated by about
1 second.  At baud rates of 1200 and above (except 2400), a single
carriage return would work.  And at 2400 baud, I believe it was a
control-Y that was used, rather than a carriage return.  Now, this
may have been way back on VMS 2.5 so things have probably changed,
but I just tried a control-Y at 2400 baud and it works (of course,
on my system a single carriage return at 2400 also seems to work).
It's something to check out, though.
