Question about modems

[Alexandre Souza]

Jim, its a long time I don't use it, but I've used other configurations 
beyond 8N1 and I remember when you put the modem in 7E1 it mirrored the 
configuration of the other side. If you had a vax with a 2400 7E1 port, 
you gotta have in the terminal 2400 7E1

So, you gotta match the configuration of the other side

Hope that helps!
