Assuming you mean 228cps (rather than 228bps), and that the site you're
calling autobauds its modems rather than having the host<->modem baud rate
locked at one value, I can guess what it might be.  We see it sometimes
on zoo's Telebits.  Under ill-defined circumstances, an otherwise-ordinary
connection ends up in a mode where the modems are talking to each other
at high speed, but one of the modems is talking to its host at low speed,
e.g. 2400 baud.  It appears to be a transient problem, usually going away
on the next connection.
