The enclosed Amigaguide document explains how to improve the speed of Modem
transfers using USRobotics modems (and quite a few others for that matter).

I have translated the original document into "proper" English - the original
docs were written by a Swedish bloke by the name of Robert Hertell and
translated into Amigaguide format by Robert Lehman - I have no idea of his
home country. I have (when necessary) removed some of the errors in the
translation but I have tried to leave the spirit of the original docs
unchanged. You might find the use of CAPITALS a bit odd at times but
that's the way the originals read. I am not the author -just an editor :-)

The docs mention a copy of the serial.device and a copy of Cpublit being
enclosed. They were not enclosed with the copy of the docs I downloaded and
I have not included them here - they are both, as far as I know, copyright
material and I have no intention of infringing those copyrights by
distributing copies here. Both can be downloaded from your favourite BBS.

I have also, where possible, tidied up the layout of the original file by
including a few extra links (and fixing two broken ones) but I have not
changed in any way the instructions contained in the file (that is
to say - if the instructions don't work, don't blame me!).

Finally, remember that the best way of fixing modem problems is:-
a) READ THE MANUAL!
b) have a chat with your local Sysop - I had endless problems until I spoke
   to (here come the credits, folks!):-

Dave Naylor of Frost Free (+44 0484 842341)

and

Andrew Dowds of Heart of Lothian (+44 0620 826004)

(with a special thank you to Andy - I still owe you a pint!).


Happy phone bills,

Allan.
