Hi Scott,
 SK> John...
 SK> I have heard that it takes longer for the modem to handshake when
 SK> the port his set higher than it needs to. Recommended settings:
 SK> Baud      Port
 SK> ----      ----
 SK> 300       300
 SK> 1200      1200
 SK> 2400      2400
 SK> 9600      19200
 SK> 14400     38400
 SK> 28800     57600
 SK> 33600     57600
That may be so, but my handshaking takes a mere fraction of a second anyway 
with the port at 112,000. The benefit of extra speed on downloading 
uncompressed files is greater for me. 
I do not use my modem on the net (I get that at work) but I would imagine 
that downloading speeds for web pages would be improved with a port speed of 
112,000?
