HELP! I have a bunch of Avatex 2400 baud modems connected to DMF32
ports on a Vax 11/780. They seem to work fine in 2400 baud mode, but
as soon as the modem is connected by someone at 1200 baud, the answering
modem is forever at 1200, it NEVER, autobauds back up.

This is infuriating. If anyone knows of a fix for this?? Also, the newer
modems have a set of DIP switches on the bottom, but no explanation in
the manual. If you call customer support they will tell you what the
switches DON'T do, but not what they do do. Any clues?
