This is a misunderstanding on their part.
Win95 will support whatever the driver for the serial card supports.
Sometimes modem vendors (which supply many of the .inf files
that describe the capabilities of modems) write .inf files that
limit the DTE rate to 115K. Some (later) versions of the BSPro
.inf file do this. See my other response for directions on how
to correct this.

Not to worry, 230 or even 460K works fine in Win95 if you have a serial
card that supports it and a .inf file for your modem that allows it.
