They were great in their day, but are quite often unreliable for anything over 9600. Also, your modem should support separate DTE and connect speeds if properly configured. Check your modem settings. It sounds like you have DCE=DTE set, which would cause this problem. In any case, if you don't upgrade to 16550 or better, you will probably get a lot of garbage at DTE rates over 9600. Good Luck!
