- Hmmm...well, hmm, I had problems setting up my Practical Peripherals 14.4
- modem, mostly because my computer apparently doesn't have the chip that is
- necessary for it to go high speed. I can comfortably go 19,2 but if I
- try to go higher my computer just can't handle it and I lose characters like
- crazy. From what I understand there's some chip that I need to replace.

- As for Procomm for Windows, all you need to do is select the proper drivers
- and when you click the setup button, you should see 57,600 as an option.
-
- Hope this helps.
