- I'm really confused by all this. If I read the manual correctly, for
- hardware handshake, you use the default initialization provided by &F1.
- This tells the modem to connect at the fastest possible speed. If
- you've got the 33.6 option, then that's the upper limit. No, I don't
- get 33.6 'cause there's nothing at the other end with 33.6. I do get 28.8
- consistently (when the phone line is good and lets me connect at all).
- This is for the new 33.6 internal. My 28.8 external with the older ROM
- won't even stay connnected.
