Besides the fact that a PC Uart DOES support a port speed of 14400 BPS (But
¨most software doesn't).



Why would I need to set the com port to 14400 to achecive 14400 BPS Thruput.



I have mine set to 38400 And usually get 16800 BPS thruput when using ¨V32bis.



And when I use a V22bis carrier I usually get around 2300 BPS.



Thruput is not directly related to Carrier speed OR Com port speed. Their
¨are a LOT of other facters such as Error correction & Data
Compression.
