[comp.sys.mac.comm] Problems with Zterm and Freeterm?

jtn@ADS.COM (John Nelson) (06/08/90)

I have a Mac IIcx + Racal Vadic 9632VP modem.My comm packages are
Freeterm and Zterm.  The computer I'm calling is a Sun with USR
Courier 2400 bps modems.  Now I call the modem at work with the speed
set to 2400 nps and 8bit 1 stop 1 start no flow control.  The modem
answers but the speed switches down to 1200!  This happens with both
Freeterm and Zterm, yet...

when I use Kermit for the Mac, I get in at 2400 bps immediately with
no problems.  What I don't understand is why the two modems would
decide to switch down to 1200 bps when both can support 2400 and I
call at 2400.  It's also strange that this doesn't happen with Kermit.

Any guidance?
