A question for all the modem gurus out there:
	I'm checking out a used Hayes V-series Smartmodem 9600 V.42 for a
friend who is interested in purchasing it.  The problem is that I'm having
some difficulties getting the modem to connect.  I don't know whether the
problem is a malfunction on the part of the modem or just an incorrect
configuration, because I know very little about >2400 baud modems and I don't
have any documentation for this beastie.  I'm using Procomm Plus on a PC
configured for 9600 8N1.  This seems to work at 9600 bps in command mode
but when I connect to a local BBS or to a UNIX dialup I receive
a CONNECT 9600 but the high speed (HS) shuts off and I get only a 2400 bps
connection.  I'm still able to use the connection, though, with 9600 set on
my terminal.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
