11-17-93 (applies to data only)
Most of the time, there is no need to use a bps above 19,200bps.
Unless the data is very structured or has lots of empty space (database or
spreadsheet) the compression won't get you over 19,200bps. When the modem
refuses to work above 19,200 or doesn't work well, it is usually hardware
on the computer (slow serial port or some other conflict even on a fast
computer). Set the software and dialing directory for 19200. Make sure
CTS/RTS flow is=ON. And locked DTE (baud/bps) rate (software does NOT
follow modem connect speed). >>> The Windows com.drv will not handle
over 19,200 reliably. A replacement such as Turbocom will be OK.
On the other hand, never set the modem BELOW 19,200 either. If you get
a 12,000 or 14,400 connect the software and modem may not speak to each
other correctly.
