Do I really need to BREAK to change baud rates?

Sheesh, yer boss better develop some flexibility. He's gonna have a cow when
he has to deal with awk....
What baud rates are you rolling between? If I remember the origin of the
break code, at certain speeds (like 9600+) a character transmitted is not
visible to a receiver at certain other speeds. (like 1200) Basic math.
If we are talking modems, then why change baud rates? Spend the $50 and get
him a 2400 baud. If you are using a higher speed modem, lock the interface.
Enough speculation. 'Splain yourself.
