 Procomm computes d/l and u/l time using the baud rate your com port is set
 to.  This means that if it is set to 9600 baud, Procomm will figure out the
 correct figure based on this speed, no matter what speed the modem is talking
 to the host at.  If you want the correct times, use ALT-P or the dialing
 directory to set the com port speed to the highest speed of your modem.  If
 you have some sort of compression modem, this is counterproductive, and you
 should just live with the time error.
