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.
