Is it possible to get a modem to "fallback" from 1200 baud to 300? On all the modems I've used, if I mistakenly dial a 300 bps only modem at 1200 bps, I get a "CONNECT 1200" from the modem. Are the carriers that close? Or have I just been using cheap modems? -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I used to be a hacker.

Are you sure your modem is capable of (or set to) fall back? Mine
don't have any problems. I use NEC 2420/30 and 212B/R modems.

Well, I've never seen anything in the manuals about having to set the modem(s)
up in some special manner to do fallback. I've used a Hayes Smartmodem 1200
(the old one!), a USR Password and a Conroy-Lapointe "Super Modem 2400".
*None* of them would fallback in *originate* mode, all would fallback in
answer mode.

My NEC modems fall back in originate mode too.
