[comp.dcom.modems] uucp/Multitech modem wierdness

It seems that uucp and/or my Multitech 224E modems are having a bit of a
problem establishing a uucp connection that requires a baud speed change.
I thought at first the problem might have been with the dialup site but,
at least 3 computers we call that start up at 1200 baud and break to 2400
have the same problem.  When running uucico in -x9 mode, it looks like the
break gets thru and the remote login prompt appears.  uucico accepts that
and sends the login name.  Then when expecting the password, it looks like
the other end's baud rate changed.  I have discovered no sequence that will
allow uucp to login.  Running "tip" and ~# to change the baud when logging
in works just fine which is why I expect a uucp quirk.  This happened with
both SunOs 3.2 and VAX BSD4.2.  The MNP of the 224 is turned off so error
correction is not the problem.  Any one else seen any weirdness such as
this?  Thanks in advance.
