        Opus predates modem speeds of 14400 and 28800 - so, when a frontend 
hands off to Opus at those speeds, Opus burps and looses the caller. What 
most of us did was to kludge the port speed transfer, to make Opus think it 
was getting a caller at 19200 or 38400 for those faster speeds. I have run 
Opus with a port speed of 57600. In my old SpawnBBS.BAT I had this sequence:
 :OPUS
 C:
 cd\OPUS
 del chat01
 Set PORT=1
 Set TASK=1
 set opusbaud=%2
   if %2 == 115200 set opusbaud=38400
   if %2 == 57600 set opusbaud=38400
   if %2 == 28800 set opusbaud=38400
   if %2 == 26400 set opusbaud=38400
   if %2 == 24000 set opusbaud=38400
   if %2 == 21600 set opusbaud=19200
   if %2 == 16800 set opusbaud=19200
   if %2 == 12000 set opusbaud=19200
 Opus BBS1 -b%opusbaud% -p%3 -t%4
This worked fine with Binkleyterm, and should work with FroDo, IF FroDo and 
your fossil will accept a port speed of 115200. Generally, the performance
gains you get when running the port faster than 38400 are not huge.
        Another option some Opus sysops ahve used is to change a register in 
their modem so it never reports a connect speed greater than 9600. I "think" 
this is the S95 register on Rockwell chipset modems.
        The batch file above, and other files I used for Binkley and Opus, 
are FREQable as Bink-HBD.LZH (13k), if you want the whole stack for study. 
        I hope this helps.
