(PM) Port Speeds

Hello Portmaster Users

We are running PM2e30's with 33.6k modems on them. On all ports, we're
running the speed at 115200. We're running both USR MP/16's and MicroCom
ISPorte modems. I do not believe we are using hardware compression on the
modems. Would there be an advantage in stability and/or performance if I
dropped the speed on all ports to 57600? I ask about stability because I'm
trying to debug a disconnect during download problem. I ask about
performance, because I wonder if the portmaster would perform better
running its ports at half the speed, and I remember a debate a while back
about certain terminal servers not being able to deliver full bandwidth to
all ports at 115200 (I could be wrong).

Does anyone have any thoughts?
