Everything works cool except that I can't get it to use a line speed higher than 9600 so that I can fully use the modems bandwidth and compression. The problem seems to be with the line speed between the computer and modem (I am using external USR14.4 Sportster modems). If I set the speed to 9600, I can dialin, but as soon as I set it to 19200 or higher and try, it craps out. I am setting the line speed to 19200 by setting the ports 'ttys' setting to std.19200. Is this correct? I set hardware flow control using 'stty -f /dev/ttyd0 crtscts' in rc.local. Is this the correct way and place to set flow control? I know the modem is set up correctly because I have used it at computer to modem line speeds up to 57600 through Pcplus with no problems and have saved these exact settings in NV memory. I don't think I have a 16550 uart but I think it should still work at 19200, right? Thanx for any help, Dan
