It's a common error among some folks who have 14400, 28800, or 33.6k modems, who incorrectly assume that the modem must be talked to at the 14400, 28800, or 33.6k rate. It isn't so. First thing, all those modems have autobaud detection, and will set up automatically at any rate you speak to it at. Second, they have features like compression and error control, which require that they communicate _faster_ than the line rate. Most folks talk to their modems at 57600 or 115Kbps. > > -- > Vladimir Litovka <doka@grunt.vl.net.ua>, hostmaster of vl.net.ua > ---------------- Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
