Well, after having experienced no problems at all with a VIVA 2400 MNP5
running Wildcat 2.55 and now 3.02 successfully, i finally 
upgraded to a VIVA 9642e V32.BIS/V42.BIS Modem.
The upgrade from 2400 to 9600 was quite enerving.
I messed around for 3 days until i called Computer Peripherals
(they make the VIVA) and then the Mustang support by voice.
Those guys were really great.
After a full hour of LD-Phonecall here is a 

       REALLY WORKING    SETUP 

for Wildcat 3.x with a VIVA Modem:

Makewild, Modem setup part1:

Line 1:Comm-Port:                       1
     2:IRQ                              04
     3:BASE-ADDRESS                     03F8
     4:RING USING:                      RING DETECT
     5:BAUD RATE USING:                 RESULT CODE 1
     6:INITIALIZE PORT:                 19200
     7:LOCK DTE                         Y
     8:USE CTS/RTS                      Y
     9:SECONDS BEFORE CARRIER           40
    10:MS BEFORE ANSWERING              1000
    11:MS TO LOWER DTR                  2000
    12:MS BEFORE PRELOG                 1000
    13:MS FOR RSULT CODE:               9000
    14:MS FOR COMMAND STRINGS           2000
    15:TRIGGER LEVEL                    4   (OR 0)

PART 2:

     1. VERBAL CODE FOR RING:           RING
     2. VERBAL CODE FOR 300:            CONNECT

    11. MODEM ERROR CORRECTION:         ARQ|MNP|V42|LAP
    12. MODEM ON HOOK:                  ATH0
    13. MODEM OFF HOOK:                 AT M0H1
    14. MODEM RESET STRING:             ATZ
    15. MODEM INIT STRING:              AT &C1&D2 S95=3 E0W2 S25=1 M0X4
    16. ANSWER STRING:                  ATA



The modem works fine and really displays the actual connection speed 
rather than the locked serial port speed of 19200.
Error-correction is detected.

Use those settings in combination with the NRAM file provided.
It works.
You might try some changes in the time-delays to speed up the 
modems answering.
