- Depends on:
- - what modem is on the other end - YES
- - what speed the serial port is set to - I DON'T THINK SO

- I have an old 33 MHz 386, which is assigned to send/receive E-mail
- every 1.5 hour every workday ("mail server"). It can process
- data at only 14400 bits/s. But my Motorola 3265 usually connects at
- 16800 - 21600 bits/s and it gets lower rates only when phone line quality
- is almost awful.
