- John, the speed you set is the comm port speed, not the connect speed of the
- modems. They will negotiate that. Make sure x/on x/off flow control is off,
- rts/cts flow control is on, and autobaud detect is off. These settings are
- in your comm software. Procomm Plus goes to 115k, but remember with V32bis
- modems using compression, at 14400 connect times a 4:1 theoretical
- compression ratio, that equals 57600 BPS thruput. So lock your comm port
- at 38400 or 57600, whichever throughput the modem supports.
