Here's a question for you.  Am trying out a number of remote-control,
remote-node products, and noticed in the older (version 5) PC Anywhere/Lan,
the US Robotics Sportster is listed as operating best at '38400' while the
Digicom Scout Plus is listed as doing best at '57600' ...

Besides PC Anywhere's own eccentricities (whatever they may be), what, in
the manufacturing or specs of the products, produce these recommendations.
I have a Scout Plus, but the Sportsters are all over.
