* 
* Then use PPP wchich understand login/password :-)
* The problem with auto-detecting is line noise. It is possible that
* some incoming junk looks like packet, detecting procedure must be
* smart enough and detect several long packets in sequence to be shure,
* not just one small packet.

That's why the option is off by default.  A better detection 
system would be better.  What I submitted works well enough, but
it can be fooled by line noise.  

Personally, I haven't seen much line noise since modems all started
using error correction.
