[comp.dcom.modems] Modems, bulletin boards, and 2400 baud

msd@enh.nist.gov (M. Scott Dewey) (07/09/90)

I'm having a small problem when I connect with bulletin boards that
advertise running at baud rates of 300/1200/2400.  First I set my Everex
Evercom 24 2400 BPS internal modem to 2400 baud, then I make the
connection, and finally I find that the connection has been established
with the bulletin board at 1200 baud (I have to reset the rate on my modem
to 1200 baud to continue)!  Does anyone have any idea why this might
happen?  Is there a trick to connecting at 2400 baud?  I have no problem
connecting at 2400 baud to numbers that are exclusively 2400 baud.

Thanks!
