We have a PM3 in here & it is perhaps the most amazingly easy piece of
equipment to configure and operate. You have done an impeccable job. Once
33.6Kbps is released, it will be perfect except....

I have a client who is noticing the best reliability ever from his modem
when dialing over land lines, however, he is not able to connect via his
cell phone at all. I assume that this is related to sketchy support of
baudrates less than 9600. Now if it were up to me, I would not advocate
support of lower baud rates and as a long time member of this list I *have*
seen the 2400 baud discussions so please don't spam me on this. Here is the
excerpt from his email. Note that he compares connections on the pm3's to
our curent dial-up solution which is different. Thanks for any input that
can be provided. I believe the issue in this case will be: Do you support
7200/v.42bis connections?
