Pardon my ignorance, but I seem to recall that the Modem Control Panel
lets you specify speeds up to 19200 bps.  The various share/freeware
telecomm programs I've seen let you specify speeds up to 19200 as
well, though some don't seem to go higher than 9600 or even 2400 in
some ancient cases.

So how can it handle 28800?  Inquiring mind wants to know.
