5.4.11 Speed Conversion Commands
Speed conversion is a necessary part of data compression since data
must be presented to the modem faster than it can handle data, if data
compression is to be effective.
Speed conversion allows the Series II Modem to communicate at one
speed over the phone line, and at another speed at the RS232C
interface. The speed (also referred to as “data rate” or “baud rate”) can
be fixed at the RS232 interface independently of the baud rate of the
on-line transmissions.
In addition to data compression, another popular application for speed
conversion involves an auto-answer Series II Modem connected to a
computer that does not have autobaud capability. This means that the
