- Select 57,600 or 115,200 as the modem will buffer the speeds
- appropriately. If you don't set a speed that is higher than your line
- speed then the modems can't do hardware compression. Most modem

- usally works pretty well unless you move huge amounts of straight text
- around.

- I'm not using it but my guess is this also has something to do with
- the speed buffering, since the modem didn't request a baud rate change
- from 19,200 to 14,400 it didn't disconnect. As I mentioned earlier
- you wan't these speeds higher. (Most modems can squeeze a little more
- compression out even when transferring compressed data because of the
- ability to compress the IP protocol a little).
