In the last few days my modem has started to log in at V32bis instead
of V42 and it sometimes does some weird speed re-negotiating before
settling down to 1440 (ie it "says" 7000 baud then 12000 - 3 zero's -
before going to 1440). I havn't commented before because it seems to work
ok afterwards (appart from dropped lines I sometimes get). I've responded
because this is the number I dial too.

Don't know why and don't know how but it is recent so maybe you're not
alone on this one.
