  26. Bad pizza.  Don't let the modems adjust the serial connection speed.  The
  27. old OS don't understand that a modem is capable of that, and it doesn't
  28. work correctly on any modem above 9600 baud, except by occasional
  29. coincidence.
  30.  
  31. Lock the serial speed to something a little higher than the modem's typical
  32. connect speed.
  33.  
  34. That is almost certainly causing your trouble, and has caused trouble for
  35. me in the past.
