     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.
