        Well, I got my new modem... it's a SupraFaxModem... it arrived in
less than 2 weeks (and I'm in Canada) straight from Supra... not bad.

        However, I've got a few problems with it... I run a BBS under
Maximus 2.01 and things are not working 100%.  It started out so that no
one could even connect to the thing unless they had another 'faster than
2400 baud' modem, which amounts to about 1 person here on P.E.I., but I
fixed that.  Now, the major problem I have is this... when users call up
my board... they are losing some of the characters... namely the ones at
the beginning of the transmission...  Like they lose the top two lines of
a Menu but pick up half way through....  I guess anything that starts at
the top of a screen just doesn't all come through.

        Now, I know that I'm connected at 2400 with them, I know that from
the cute little display that flashes '24' at me.  So.... what am I doing
wrong.  Here's my Init String, I made it up generally by myself with some
assistance from the very adequate manuals that accompanied the modem:

        AT&F2&Y0E0M0V1S0=0 (Right?  Wrong?  I'm no expert, but it answers!)

        Also, I have my Baud Maximum set to 19200baud.... but the modem will
actually only do 14.4k with max throughput of 57.6k... should I set it to
one of these instead?  Oh yeah, I have CTS/DSR enabled, I don't REALLY know
what those are either... but Maximus suggests that for faster than 9600 you
really should enable them.

        Finally, when a call comes in, Maximus says that it's connected at
19200.... even though it's only at 2400?  Any idea why?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  The sooner the better as I'd like to get this puppy
working ASAP.  Thanks a lot
