The instructions for my new modem say that it can communicate with the computer at 57600 bps or even faster, but the Prefs/Serial program only goes up to 31250. How can I set this?
A. Terminal programs ignore the Prefs/Serial settings. Each terminal program has its own setting, perhaps under a Settings or Preferences menu or the equivalent. Set the speed there, and don’t worry about the Prefs/Serial program (it is very rarely used, and usually only by those with serial printers). The Amiga’s serial hardware is not particularly fast, and you might have data corruption problems operating the serial port at high speeds; there are replacement serial.device programs on Aminet in the comm/misc directory which attempt to compensate for this.
