S2=255 to disable the escape code and S12=0 to set the guard time to 0. It's the S12 value that is the work-around for the pausing problem.

I have been connecting to high speed modems with the below The modem determines the maximum possible speed it can connect at, and you can't change that. It's determined by line conditions and the ability of the two modems to deal with them. The commands we were discussing only permit you to tell the modem to "connect at 31,200 - or don't connect at all" - they _won't_ "make" the modem connect at a higher speed than the line conditions permit.

In spite of what you read here, most modems for sale today are easier to configure and "set up" than were modems of the past. Most have standard factory defaults so the init string need be no more than AT&F or AT&F1. Most internals continue to have jumpers to select the comm port and IRQ, even if they also support "plug and play". About the only thing you must be concerned with that isn't a concern with a 2400 bps modem is the UART if you have an external modem: you will most likely need a 16550 buffered UART, which is a direct pin for pin replacement for an 8250 or 16450 that your system may now have. It's not a big deal. Stick with "name brands": Motorola, USR, Zoom, Practical Peripherals, etc. Don't buy a modem designed only for Windows. If the UART is a concern, chose an internal and avoid that problem. It's easier than you think. :-) TTFN. Rick.
