- I had your same problems when I tried to use AmiTCP the first times. The
- 14.400 baud setting is __NOT__ a standard one for the serial. You can
- easily choose an higher __STANDARD__ one with no problems, for example I
- have a 14.400 modem but my startnet script is set to BAUD=38.400. THE ONLY
- THING you have to remember is that both your dialer and your startnet
- script must use the same baudrate: I use TERM 4.1 to dial my provider and
- I set its serial values to 38.400 baud too. Hope this can help.
