(PM) PM3 RFE Idea....

Before sending an official request for engineering I wanted to see if
people think this idea has merit.

It appears that alot of disconnects can be eliminated by having end users
limit the maximum connect speed via init strings in their modem setup. It
is also a fact that getting the users to make those changes is a royal
PITA.

It seems to me that since the PM3's are using DSP's it should be possible
to set a maximum connect speed for a particular user via a radius setting.
I realize that the user would connect without benefit of the "max_speed"
limit but at the first ret/ren the PM3 would "adjust" forcing the session
to the max_speed setting. I do not see this as a global setting but more
as a tool to help those users that complain or that the ISP notices are
disconnecting frequently.

Comments?
