I had the same problem. I have USR Sportster 28.8 modems, and was going crazy about not being able to set faster rates. The way you can fix a faster rate is to give the "fixed rate" command to the modem, using the speed you want to fix. You can give commands to the modem in the first serial port, using cu, as follows: cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 57600 cu should display a "Connected" message, and then you should enter: ATZ (modem should reply OK) AT&B1&W0 (modem should reply OK again) then, you must end the cu session, by typing ~. (tilde plus dot) and pressing enter. Note that in the second command, the last character is a zero, not an "o". In the USR modems, this fixes speed at 57600bps. You may try faster rates if your modem allow that. Hope this helps. +-----------------------------------------------+ | Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez | | Unidad de Internet/Red Cientifico-Educativa | | Depto. de Procesamiento Electronico de Datos | | Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala -USAC- | | | |e-mail: victor@usac.edu.gt, | |Telefono oficina: (502)4769723 (fax/voz) | | (502)4767719 (voz) | |Telefono casa : (502)4782916 (502)2891037 | +-----------------------------------------------+
