PE> 3. I decided to set the baud rate to 19200 in Binkley rather
PE> than 38400, and what happened was the modem started sending
PE> junk to Binkley rather than "RING".  This could be because I
PE> had not issued a "mode" command to the modem, I haven't tried
PE> again yet.

BG> Why did you do that !?!?!?  You can't lock your DTE to a speed lower than 

Because of problems with V32bis callers, it was an attempt to
disable the higher speeds.  When that didn't work I tried &N8.

BG> the modem's highest link rate.  It won't work, as you've already 
BG> discovered.  OS/2 is quite happy with 57600, or even 115200 if you prefer.  
BG> Incidentally, now might be a bloody good time to add the following line to 
BG> your config.sys:

BG> RUN=MODE COM2:57600,N,8,1,DTR=OFF,RTS=HS,OCTS=ON,TO=ON,XON=OFF,BUFFER=ON

mode com3:38400,n,8,1,idsr=off,odsr=off,octs=on,rts=hs,dtr=on,to=off,buffer=on

Quite different from what I'm using.  Why do I need to change
what I have above?

PE> 1. The code in the flash rom of the USR is Australian code about
PE> a year old.  Is there later Australian code? 

BG> Yes, David Drummond and Poe Lim both have it for freq.

PE> Can I use American code instead?  Both official and unofficial stories.  
PE> Actually, semioffical stories too.

BG> It won't work, as the SDL does a checksum on the country code of the 
BG> existing ROM code.  If you try, it just barfs, and won't erase the original 
BG> code.

What happens if I decide to emigrate to USA?

PE> 3. My USR has been set up as follows:
PE> AT&F1
PE> ATS56=0
PE> AT&W
PE> And from then on, ATZ.

BG> Looks fine to me, but don't forget to check the DIP switches beneath the 
BG> modem as well.  These should be set to 3, 5 & 8 ON, all others OFF.

9 was also on, so I switched it off.  BFN.  Paul.
