Hello John,
The following lines are in my Arachne.cfg file. After connection
I can point her to PPP.LOG and see the *actual* TX and RX speeds,
along with the standard negotiated (usually V.90).
I typically find 26400 TX, 52000 RX. Even though 38400 is spec'd in the
CFG file...
As to the original question, I can't help :-]
Speed 38400
InitString at&f&c1&k3L3W3\A1
