Here's something I don't quite understand:  in the Modem control panel the
highest listing for *baud* is 19200; in Spectrum v2.1, under Port settings,
the highest listing for *baud rate* is 57600.  What's the difference (not
in speed, but in function)? (BTW, I have Modem Port set at 19200 and
Spectrum set at 38400; when I log onto my ISP I get the message "connect
38400").

Just curious.
