Hmmm.

What *is* the corresponding value for V34 with 26400 with V42bis
compression? It can be anywhere between 24000 bps and 80000 bps...

This is one problem...

The main problem in switching the baud rate after CONNECT is that it is
very hard to do from a program without disturbing the incoming connection
(you'll have to go from data mode to command mode with +++\r, and then
send an AT command with a different baud rate - but I'm not sure whether
this works at all).

Your problems hint for me more to flow control problems. What is your
modem (AT&Hx) and your machine (DATA_FLOW) set to?

No.

Not yet.
