Even configuring the mailer to only 38200 bps without x00 gives the same
results. No way to become faster than 19200 bps.

What happens then, if I switch the modem's power off? I do this whenever I
get the message "Bad host", which happens very often. I then get nervous,
thinking of my phone cost, having experienced, that modifications of the
following cfg variables have no positive influence on this bad-host-
behavior at all:
redialtimeout=30 # pause between redials
sockdelay=120 # Socket timeout
domainto=110 # Nameserver Timeout
Unfortunately, I have not the slightest ideas about comm stuff!

Any proposal, what to change?

Must I also change my $baud in my cfg, when running your commset.bat?

It reports: "It is a 16550A SIO Chip."
