I thought you read this thread.  Don't tell seyon anything about
baud rate - it won't care or know.  Just tell it the data rate in
bits per second.

And for any modern modem running speed buffering/error
correction/data compression, you should be running your serial port
from your PC at a rate faster than the nominal modem line data rate,
ie. faster than 14400.  At least 19200, mebbe 38K4 or 57K6, if you
set it up correctly.

FWIW.

Arnim.
