Modem Definition 8
If you are using a modem to connect to a MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System,
and you have set the Maximum Speed to above 2400 baud, the modem in the
MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System may time-out before your modem has
enough time to step down to 2400 baud and establish communications. For this
reason, it is suggested that you use a modem definition with a Maximum Speed
of 2400 baud. You can create a new modem definition while retaining your
original, higher speed definition if you choose.
