Also, monkeying with the S95 register will help. The (RTS/CTS) settings will 
automatically lock the port rate, but if it isn't there ProTERM tries to 
autobaud. S95=44 causes the connect to look something like

CARRIER 9600
PROTOCOL: LAP-M
COMPRESSION: V.42BIS
CONNECT 38400

As long as that connect line matches what ProTERM's previously-set port rate 
is, ProTERM is fooled and we're all happy.

If (RTS/CTS) is in there, then setting S95 to spit the connect out on one line 
works.

My US Robotics Sportster behaved fine with ProTERM 3.0 and 3.1 even when the 
connect lines looked like

CONNECT 14400/ARQ/V32/LAPM/V42BIS
