USR Courier V.everything and paging

[rd@thrush.com (R.D. Thrush)]

  Can somebody help me add paging functionality to my existing HylaFAX
setup without dedicating the modem to pages only?

  (I sent the attached message about 2 weeks ago and haven't had a
response.)

Thanks, Bob
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  I've had a shared fax/data modem environment for several years based
on FlexFAX and HylaFAX using a USR Courier V.everything modem.  I
would like to add paging functionality to the mix; however, I can't
make it work without changing the global ModemRate parameter to 1200.

  Unfortunately, setting ModemRate to 1200 renders the modem virtually
useless for anything but pages.

  How can I add paging functions to my existing environment without
slowing everything down to 1200 bps?

  [ FWIW, I seem to remember a capability (several years ago) to
change the DTE baudrate as part of a modem command string.  I think
that might solve my problem. ]
