Modem Speed

[Mike Patterson <mike@col.hp.com>]

Hi there. 

A friend of mine and I both recently got Zoom 56k Modems to allow my friend 
to hook into my system. Unfortunately, my friend can only connect at 26400 BPS,
but we aren't sure why. 

# setserial -a /dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
        Flags: spd_vhi skip_test


Any ideas? I would think that even with minor line noise, we'd be able to 
connect at 33.6. If the diagnosis is line noise, is there a way we can test
this? 

Also, my friend is connecting with a Mac (one of the new G3s) is there any 
settings they should be looking at?
