5. Select the port where the modem is connected (normally starts at
COM5).
6. Select your serial port speed and label it maximum speed, DTE
bps, or baud rate.
If you use data compression, set your serial port baud rate to
four times the modems maximum transmission speed or faster.
However, few files can be compressed enough to require speeds
that high, and not all serial ports can handle speeds that high.
Set the serial port baud rate to 320,400 bps.
7. If the software has an autobaud selection make sure it is disabled.
Autobaud applies only to older modems and can cause problems if
enabled.
8. If the software allows you to edit the no connect messages (NO
CARRIER, BUSY, NO ANSWER, NO DIALTONE), make sure
there is space between DIAL and TONE in NO DIALTONE.
