INTERNET SHARER
You should receive a message from the Internet Sharer confirming the speed. If
you do not know the maximum speed of your modem, start by selecting 57600 and
try to communicate with your modem. If it still does not work, try the next speed,
38400, and so on. Using a modem that supports 115200 baud will increase the
performance of the Internet Sharer.
Verify that you are using the right modem driver for your modem.
