- Set it to 115.2kbps. If that causes problems, lower it to 57.6 or
- 38.4kbps. This setting is the speed at which you're com port is sending
- data to the modem (the DTE speed), and it should be set higher then the
- speed at which the modems are exchanging info (DCE speed, eg. 28.8kbps)
- due to error control and data compression.

- The 14.4 IS the true connect speed. That is the speed at which
- your modems are exchaning data.
