Bugs/Limitations
gsm0710muxd There may accure bufferoverruns and thus missing data between muxer and client under certain
situations.
Some settings could be determined by a AT-command at startup. This wouldn't be much reliable because
modems often lie so i did not invest to much work in this.

= 16.
-b<baudrate>
muxer-mode baudrate (default: 115200)
-B<baudrate>

channel. Some modems even support using GPRS while a call is active, others suspend GPRS during calls.
The muxer supports various options to change the behaviour for different modems. Use -h to see a brief
help screen.
All logging is done through syslog, see the syslog for errors and warnings.
