My GV Platinum is perfectly content at 115,200 (with the unneeded except
for fax *with this Platinum* Teleport software not installed, or
installed). That's on my old, slow 8100/80 (I lent the modem out so
haven't been able to try it on my 7300). [There are an unfortunate number
of different "Platinum" sub-models...including some which take their power
from the "Geoport" connector on PowerMacs and suitable Quadras, meaning you
can't even say dogmatically that the user needs to plug the transformer
into an outlet.]
Global Village modems (per their tech support presence on
comp.sys.mac.comm) prefers "CTS only" handshaking over "CTS & RTS
(DTR)"...the latter leading to dropped connections on occasion.
The 19200 Port speed on a Mac is generally recipe for failure, at least
here. Users keep selecting it...I keep fixing their problems simply by
moving them to 38,400 or 57,600.
(All Macs can do 230,000 on the serial port under the proper conditions
[LocalTalk]...modem connections aren't the proper conditions.)
