I have a 9600 speed modem connected to my NeXT which
works fine at 9600 but will not compress and run at 57,600
as the documentation states.  It seems to me that since I set
the port to 9600 in the /etc/ttys file that it can't send
data any faster.  As a result, when I transfer files I am
getting typical character per second rates of around 650 cps.

How can I take advantage of the 57,600 these 2 modems with
data compression are suppost to get me?  Can i set the
serial port to 57,600??  

I have the excellent document that someone on this list sent
me to describe how to connect it up (thanks!) but it doesn't
address using the high speed option.  Any help appreciated.
