Bulletin boards which run at 9600 usually have $US Robotics modems, and I can't seem to do better than 2400 anywhere. Depending on what kind of USR modem they are, they may not do V.32, which is the international 9600 bps standard. USR's product line includes the following three modems: USRobotics Courier V.32: This one implements the standards at rates from 300 to 9600 bps, and does MNP up to level 5 USRobotics Courier HST: This one implements the standards at rates from 300 to 2400 bps, and does MNP up to level 5. It also has a proprietary USR mode that provides asymmetric 14.4 kbps but this is not compatible with V.32 USRobotics Courier Dual Standard: Does everything the above two do So if the BBSs are using the HST modem, that's what the problem is. My modem only goes up to 2400 bps so I can't say whether the typical BBS uses a V.32-capable modem or not. -- /Nikebo \ Nikebo says "Nikebo knows how to post.
