= SUMMARY =

Once the baud rate has been set and Works has connected to a BBS and/or another modem, it is not recommended to change the baud rate setting.

When using a Works Communication file, Works will allow the baud rate to be changed after a connection has been made. Although Works can do this, very few communication software programs and services will recognize the change automatically.

Changing the baud rate after connecting may cause garbage characters to appear on the screen, as well as errors associated with sending and receiving text.
