Have your friend check the instructions for her modem.  For my 28800, the
manufacturer (Global Village) recommends a setting of at least 57000.  In
other words, she should use her highest setting.  However, that doesn't
necessarily mean that the *actual* connection will be at the full 28800.
Lots of things, from line noise to the capability of the connecting modem
can work to limit the actual speed.  The highest I usually can achieve is
26400 on the bbs that I call most often.  Good luck!
  
Always Apple!
