Be aware! Be aware! This solution affects high speed modems, let's say 14.4k
ones and faster. When sending ascii text, as in plain emails or messages,
everything is fine, but as soon as you start downloading, you'll get "GOT
ZRPOS" error messages. (at least in Proterm).

I'm not sure about ANSITerm and Spectrum, since I have never been able to test
this (don't have the programs).

So, today I have my SLOT2 set to Modem Port, and my SupraFaxmodem at 33600
baud is running just fine, without errors, or loosing characters. :)
