OK, now you're speaking my language... I am only 21 years old so 10 years ago, I was only 11, which means I was partly then into computers, but no where near like i am today... now adays, computers and music both are practicly my life. So, how do I determine the baudrate of my modem? I mean like knowing if it should be 9600 etc. and as far as like the stop bits, and parity, that might ever so extremely slightly throw me... I think I probably can get it as most of that stuff comes pretty easy to me, but I just don't exactly know... i didn't exactly think that the baudrate mattered with just incoming phone calls, but i guess it does... well, goes to show what I know... LOL! Heheheheh. Chris.
