- Almost any modern communications software will support 19,200 bps or higher
- DTE rates. To take advantage of the v.42bis data compression, you have to
- feed data to the modem at a faster rate than the DCE rate (the rate at which
- the two modems are communicating). Simply set your comm software to 19,200,
- 38,400 or 57,600 bps and tell it not to autobaud. This way, the two modems
- will link at their fastest shared data rate and the computer will talk to
- the modem at the same fast rate regardless.
