- John;

- Since you have v.42, you should use a speed higher than the modems
- will be talking to each other so you can take advantage of the
- compression they are providing. Depending on what kind of information
- is flowing through the link, the modems are capable of something like
- a 4:1 compression allowing you to see effective throughput rates higher
- than 14,400. So, run your serial port at say, 19,200 and you'll get
- somewhere between 14,400 and 19,200 bps. (This is only true when you're
- talking to another modem that supports v.42.)
