#define FAX_RECV_SWITCHBD     19200

doesn't change anything (just tested). (14400 not tested, it's not
likely, is it.) I guess, that the bd-switching in v/mgetty takes place
later, not just after sending at#cls=2. (Gert & Marc, is this right?) It
wouldn't solve the problem, anyway, because I want to have incoming
data-calls with 115200bps, not just 19200 or 14400.

I just have tested a bit more (with minicom, using the sequence
at#cls=8
at#vls=4
ata
at#cls=2
ata)
and got the following results:
Ver. 1.29, 115200bps: works.
Ver. 1.52, 115200bps: does not work.
Ver. 1.52, 19200bps: WORKS!

--> after at#cls=2 the modem with firmware 1.52 is switching to
19200bps. 
We have three ways now: 

1. Put that into the vgetty code. Or:
2. Do anything with 19200 bps. Or.
3. Kick ELSA's ass.
