Howard:
I finally managed to locate my Hayes ESP board and install it in my
system. I can set the BSpro to 230400 as indicated below but I can't
figure out how to get the ESP board to do that under Dial-Up-Networking.
Were you able to get Win95 to let you set 230400 in the modem
configuration or did you do it some other way?
