subject: connect speeds

-> it is passed to the bbs and the bbs knows they are connected at
-> 31200. Whenever this user downloads a file, the log of that download
-> indicates his speed as 38400 which is the locked port rate that BNU
-> is set at. Is there anything I can do which pertains to modem
-> configuration that will pass the correct connect speed to the
-> protocol driver instead of it showing the locked port rate of the
-> fossil driver?
What is probably happening is your commandline for the DL is set to
38400, instead of reading the logon speed.  How you'd need to change it
depends on the BBS software, and the DL driver you're using.  In
Proboard, using DSZ.com, I had to put a %B in the commandline to pass
the baud rate, and also had to put an 'estimate' command in, I've
forgotten the exact structure, but it's in the DSZ text file.
