- In your auto-logon script, make the very first line a macro to force
- the speed back up to 9600. I don't remember what the command structure is
- like in 2.0, but in 3.0 you basically call up the Online Parameters dialog
- and bump the speed back up. Proterm 2.0 can't lock the port rate so it
- defaults to whatever the modem's CONNECT message says. The newer Supras
- have an option to display the port rate in the CONNECT and the actual link
- speed as CARRIER. Check if your modem has this feature. For example, I
- get something like:
-
- CARRIER 14400
- CONNECT 38400
- etc., etc.
-
- when I connect to a v.32bis system. Proterm sees the CONNECT message and
- correctly sets the port rate to 38400 bps.
