The baud\-rate detection feature (the \fB\-\-extract\-baud\fP option) requires that \fBagetty\fP be scheduled soon enough after completion of a dial\-in call (within 30 ms with modems that talk at 2400 baud). For robustness, always use the \fB\-\-extract\-baud\fP option in combination with a multiple baud rate command\-line argument, so that BREAK processing is enabled.
