            IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING 28800 CONNECT READ THIS!

        There REALLY are some miracle things to try if you can't get
        28800 connects on the boards! If you get 26400 or less you
        could have problems with your cables and stuff from your modem!
        Now i had that same problem, i was getting a lot of 26400 connects
        on the board, and i didn't know why but since some got 28800 i
        thought it was a phone-line-connection problem between place x->y.
        But then i got a new 28800 modem for the other node, and then all
        of a sudden everybody got 28800 connects.
        And i checked the ROM's on them and they were exactly the same,
        with the dates 08/12 and 08/02, which is the shipping date for
        USRobotics V34 modems (right now atleast).
        So i switched all the cables between the modems so i used the modem
        where i was getting 26400 connects with the cables i used on the
        modem where i was getting 28800 connects.
        Voila, now i got 28800 connects on the '26400' modem!
        So i thought there was something wrong with the serial cable since
        i thought that's the most probable thing, since i got the same
        16550 COM Ports on both. Well, that wasn't the case, but after a lot
        of trying i got down to that it was the PLUG that you plug in the
        modem-telephone-cable in, and then into the wallplug, that was the
        difference between getting 26400 and 28800 connects, it sounds
        unbelievable but it's true.
        That doesn't necessarily mean that's the case in YOUR case, but
        it definitely means you should check EVERYTHING between the
        Computer <-> Modem, and the Modem <-> Plug.
