Until you do this, I think the only speeds > you'll ever see are 300/1200/2400/4800/9600/19200. Once the speed has been put in /etc/ttys (and init HUPd), you also need to connect to the modem (you can use ppp in command mode) at the same speed and do a few ATs to train it to that speed. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
