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 NOY
follow modem connect speed).
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.
NOTE>>> The phone company claims the bandwidth of the phone lines will
only support 9600. Most of the time, from most locations we know from
experience that often 12,000 or 14,400 can actually be acheived. However
when the connections for whatever reason won't support the faster speed, it
should come as no surprise. Sometimes you can force a higher than 9600
connect, and get some (or a lot) of garbage characters. When the connect is
TOO poor, the modems will not even stay connected. In such a case use one
of the 9600 dial prefixes (insert or pp11-7 or 10-7).
