You want to set the serial port rate somewhat higher than the modem rate, as compression in the modem will help in many cases. A 16550A UART will operate fine at 115200. 57600 should be fast enough for a 28800 modem also. If you have a 16450 UART, you will probably not get better than 19200 without errors (sometimes even 9600 can give errors with these). ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
