Keep in mind I dont even think the standard uucp will support that speed. After upgrading to HDB at least I could configure the port but modem operation was *very* irratic if operable at all. I ran 9600 which worked like a charm. Even after I upgraded to a 16 Mhz 386 and installed V/386 I still was not satisfied with 19.2K. I could communicate with the modem and even get a uucp running. But if I did any other serial or console activity on the machine, the modem would stop and then start again. Overall throughput was terrible. Again, I am running now 9600 and it works very smoothly. I can have a 9600 baud News feed coming in at the same time I have two 1200 baud RF-modems running and all is well. I might point out Im using a Digiboard 8-port non-intelligent serial board.
