I don't have much experience dialing internationally... I've discovered the
phone book lists a different prefix for international fax connections so I
was going to try dialing that way

My DTE rate is 38400, my modem reported 19k2 (normallty it reports when I
connect 28k8 to my uplink)

I on thr other hand have a cheap external rockwell based modem, seems to
work OK.
