We have an application for Modem Pooling and are considering the
MultiTech 224 as we have heard that these modems will do bit rate
conversion...  I.E. the terminals can be set for 9600 BPS
regardless of what the actual line rate is.

My question to the NET is, has anyone had any experience using
this feature of the MultiTechs?

Also does anyone know of other modems that perform this trick?  I
understand that there are external boxes that will do the
conversion at an RS-232 point.

Thanks in Advance...
