Since you ask, I cite two reasons:

  1. With the interface speed locked, UNIXpc OBMs have trouble
     talking to Telebit modems.

  2. It takes forever for an interrupt signal to be acted on with
     interface speed locked, since there's a whole bunch of char-
     acters buffered up in the modem.
