I don't know if this will apply to your modem (I have a 
ViVa 2400m w/MNP5), but here goes.  Set proterm at 9600.  On
my modem, it has an AT command that sets up what's called
auto-reliable mode.  Put this sequence into the modem initialization
string of proterm.  This will tell your modem to try to connect to
another error correcting modem.  When you do so, your connect message
from the modem should say so (mine says "connect 2400/rel)".
The host will usually say something like "error correcting modem
detected".  Mail me if you have an other questions.
