The Hayes VSM9600 uses a proprietary fast turnaround ping-pong 
modulation at 9600bps, which is only compatible with other Hayes 
VSM9600s.  Unless you're calling one of these, it will connect at 
2400 maximum.  If you'd like a list of the more than 400 BBSes 
around the country that support VSM9600 modulation, call the Online 
with Hayes BBS at 1-800-US-HAYES (800-874-2937) or 404-446-6336.  By 
the way, the Online with Hayes BBS has 16 lines, all of which have 
modems which are compatible with the one you're testing (and V.32, 
too).
