	[McIntyre, Lloyd]  You did not respond my question with regard
to the relevance of "100" and "1200".

	[McIntyre, Lloyd]  Then the more complete data rate list is
needed. This is independent of interpage rate change.

	[McIntyre, Lloyd]  Understood.

	[McIntyre, Lloyd]  Are you saying that you are going to drop
representation of data rates entirely or representation of data rates on
