2. Select the Serial Line Speed.
This is the maximum speed the modem will attempt to use. For ISDN permanent connections,
the speeds are typically 64000 or 128000 bps. For dial-up modems, 56000 bps would be a
typical setting.
— For ISDN, select “Permanent connection (leased line).”
— For dial-up, “Standard Modem” should work in most cases. Otherwise, select your modem
from the list.
