You don't say what speed modem you're using.  38400 would be the top DTE speed
for a 9.6K modem.  If you do have a faster modem, there could be a problem with
the configuration of your serial card - or worse. :-(

Pet niggle.  The theoretical maximum BAUD of an analogue phone line is about
3400 (distant memory); you are talking about BPS (bits per second) which is
something quite different.  The fastest modem I've seen is the USR Courier
which supports 33.6Kbps.  You'll need the flash ROM patch from USR's ftp site
for this if your Courier is more than a couple of months old.  If your modem
already supports it, ATI1 should return 76ae.
