Please, make this overridable. I've seen modems get this wrong.
I've generally determined speed by writting "If you can read this, hit
enter" or something similar out, and then waiting for characters. Not
elegant, but it works. Another possibility is to say "Login:", and if
nothing is typed, switch speed and repeat.
