Excellent.  What I'm trying to gather is if anyone has encountered an 
instance where they had to either reset their EB301 module or if it 
was reset by mistake, etc.  Doing so would drop it to 9600 bps and 
then only a 9600 bps session can be used to reset the module to the 
desired bps again which is 115200 bps for CoCoNet operation.

Some wireless paks had the the Reset jumper connected, causing a CoCo 
Reset to reset the radio module, but you'd have to hold down the CoCo 
Reset button while powering up the CoCo in order to reset the 
EB301.  What I do is hold down the Reset button for about a second 
then release it and the CoCo will then continue to boot.  Some 
wireless paks might not have had the Reset jumper set when shipped.
