ObHack: Using Procomm for 'net access (yeah, I know). Although this version supports line speeds up to 115,200, you can only go up to 19,200 for a dialing-directory entry. I found the line speeds in the PCPLUS.DIR file (which were represented in straight hexadecimal) and patched the binary code to set a higher line speed. Seems to work OK, only the 38,400 shows up in the dialing directory as -27,136.
