Tho' I don't do Quake, I've just about stopped the retraining by setting a
speed limit in DUN's extra settings. Pick a speed a couple of notches
below the customer's common speed, like:
+MS=,,,40000
If you pick a speed low enough it should retrain very little, if at all.
(This also works for a lot of the random disconnect problems with V.34+
modems if you use a command like "S37=19N0"
Later.
