	I've got a 14.4k v32bis ZOOM modem I'm trying to use
	on my IIgs, and I've currently got it set up so that
	downloads will work great.  However, when ever I get
	a lot of text transfered quickly (while in an editor
	on the unix machine I'm logged into) it almost always
	hangs up the modem on me when I'm in v42bis mode.  It
	hardly ever does it in MNP 5 mode.  So, I guess my question
	is how do I set up my IIgs and the Zoom modem so that
	this doesn't happen.

	Here is my current set up:

	running under proterm 3.0
	modem init string:  atX4L0&q5&d2&k2s36=7s48=7s95=44
	IIgs modem port settings:
		buffering: yes
		baud: 19200
		DCD: yes
		DSR/DTR: yes
		Xon/Xoff: yes
	In proterm, I set my baud rate to 38400.
	The university has two sets of 9600 baud modems, one
	set supports v42bis and the other set supports MNP5.

	When in v42bis mode, I almost always get disconnected
	within 5 minutes of connection.  MNP 5 only happens
	rarely which may just be phone noise.  Any help
	will be GREATLY appreciated.  :)
