The docs for these modems (aside from the USR Courier manual which is
nice and thick) wouldn't mention something that specific :P

I can stare at someone's connection that has a cheap no-name modem and
an unstable phone line and watch them go from 26400 down to 19200 and
back up to 26400 again.
Both the Supra here with the neat LCD display that gives me the current
connect speed and the Microcom ISPorte with the management software show
this same train-down-then-back-up behavior.
