Well, I don't know what you mean by "take advantage of the info."  I played
around with my v.32bis SupraFaxModem, with having it report the actual DTE
connect string as opposed to the default, the locked DCE speed.  I've got
locked:19200 and driver:fossil in my static file, I've got the actual port
locked using BNU1.70 and I've locked the port speed using the appropriate
modem register setting (which I don't have handy).  So, the callers log
file shows every connection at 19200, and DSZ estimates down/upload times
using 19200.  Other than that, I don't see how "Waffle" takes advantage of
the reported connect speeds.

So, when I set up the modem to report the DTE speed instead of the locked
speed, everything was neat, with one exception.  The "gotcha" that hit me
is that the SFM will report "CONNECT 14400" for incoming v.32bis calls.
Waffle doesn't know anything about such a speed, and will immediately
drop carrier on the incoming call.  For obvious reasons, I have gone back
to the old configuration.

When I get some time, I plan to go into the source code and add 14400 as
a valid connect speed.  Hopefully, nothing will break when I make that
patch.  Seems like I may have already seen a diff-patch posted to the
group?  Maybe I'm dreaming...
