Could you please provide details on this "handshaking cable"?  I seem to
recall some posts about it in the dim past, but since I only had a 2400 baud
modem, I didn't care.  Now I've been given a 9600 baud modem (from work),
but I can't seem to get it to run faster than 2400.

Through reading another post, I suspect I may have still got my terminal
program (SnowTerm) expecting 2400 baud, so I'll check that when I get
home.  Nevertheless, I suspect I could make use of a better cable.

Incidently, the modem is a Microcom QX/4232bis, and I'm using a GS.
I've configured the modem port to be 19200, but this doesn't seem to
affect anything.  :-(

Thanks in advance to any and all who have any advice on this subject.
