Wardialing

Hello all,

When doing a wardialing engagement we come across alot
of "unknown" carrier detects. I'm looking for a way to
find out the exact baud rate of the modem answering.
The modem will answer say at 9600 but the program
behind it migth run at a completely different rate
(specially the older programs) 

Some dialing software will auto-sense the emulation
but you have to give it default baud rate. But if that
modem is listening for 1200 baud 7E1, you have alot of
combination to try. I was wondering if anyone has any
experience on the matter.

I know that software like Phonesweep, THC etc.. but
they don't do the trick to find the exact baud rate.

Any ideas on the matter ?

Thanks
