  This is not a problem with the Anvil Stallion 16 port.  We have 2 telebits
hooked up at 9600 and have had no problems with the modems at all.  It sounds
like this is not really an industry-wide problem, but an Arnet Smartport
problem.


 I wouldnt recommend the Stallion though,  At 19200 it makes other ports
just about useless if we are getting any incoming traffic.
