My dilemma is that our physical modem is set at 4800 bps and set not to
change.  All other systems we dial out to are to specific numbers that
have modems on the other end set to 4800 bps and set not to change their
communication rates.

Now all of a sudden I have a requirement to dial out to another system
at 9600.  Their modem is setup not to negotiate a rate (it will only
connect at 9600).

I was hoping to be able to change the line description to 4800 or 9600
bps which would send the control codes to my modem and reset it's
connection speed respectively.

No such luck huh?

Thanks for your help.
