- First you should understand that the maximum transfer speed of a 14.4 kbauds
- modem is aroud 4K Bytes/sec. when running at 57.6 kb/s on the DTE port.
-
- The one tenth now, if your DTE speed is set at 19200, this is bit/sec not
- byte/sec, which means that is you strip the start/stop bit you end up with
- ~1436 bytes/sec.
-
- With your present configuration i would not worry at all.
