- Current setup is Moto Power 28.8 & Hayes ESP under WFWG 3.11. Before
- ESP I could negotiate 115 but w/many COMM overruns, w/ESP no overruns.
- The 230k rate does require a compatible COMM program that supports
- that rate (Hayes Smartcom avl as shareware from their BBS, Hayes was
- offering ESP for $49 vs $79 list , checkout WWW.Hayes.Com).
