I just got a Microcom AX/9624c modem (which has a top speed of 9600
baud, but it also supports MNP Class 5 so it can reach effective
speeds of 19.2k baud).  But when I dial in to netcom, it only connects
at 2400 baud!

The Netcom help desk says that their modems are 9600 baud, so I really
shouldn't be getting this slow speed.

What am I doing wrong?  Would someone who has this type of modem
working at 9600 baud (or 19200 baud) please tell me what the settings
are on his or her modem (front and back dip switches, and any software
settings I need)?

(If it helps, I'm connected via Versaterm 4.1.1 on a Macintosh, but I
also have a copy of MacLayers.)

Thanks!
