If you're sure that you aren't going to get decent transmit rates, you
could talk to the modem at 4800.  You can still get a lot of data buffered
if it turns out that the connection is really only 2000 bps, but it should
fail less often.

It would be nice if the Trailblazer had an S-register to control the
local buffer's high-water mark.
