You will probably want to setup WK to run at 9600 baud. Then turn on WK's
and the modem's hardware handshake, but only if you have a modem cable
that supports hardware handkshake. If not, then use Xon/Xoff in both WK
and the modem, but only if you're not going to use X/YMODEM.

Like all those "but..." clauses? If you can't meet either of the conditions
above (wrong modem cable, and need X/YMODEM) then you're better off staying
at 2400 bps.
