Title:  SUPPORT OF MODEMS OVER 2400 BAUD WITH THE REMOTE PC


The "NetWare Remote" product, as explained in the "NetWare Product
Reference Guide," will support baud rates up to 19.2 as long as the modem
can provide a constant connection at the specified speed.

In tests conducted with a majority of the "high speed" modems, we have
found that these modems cannot provide a constant baud rate.  This is
because the modem must constantly adjust and re-configure for line
conditions.  The NetWare Remote software expects acknowledgements to be
returned within a specified time frame, or the shell will time out.  In
addition, the remote software provides no flow control and will continue to
transmit data whether or not the modem is prepared to receive it.

Please be aware of this situation when configuring systems or when providing
pre-sale information.
