Limit maximum connection speed

External Since: Jun 20, 2009 Posts: 1

My father lives in a rural area. To get reliable dial-up Internet
connectivity on his old computer, we configured the modem settings for a
maximum connection speed of 28800. My brother has given him a new OS10 Mac;
but couldn't find any option to similarly limit the connection speed. How
do we do it in OS 10?

TIA

You don't limit the connection speed in the OS, it is all taken care of
by the Modem Driver, Serial Port Driver, and USB Connection Driver,
for the Modem that you load when you connect a modem to the hardware.
The OS just takes the incoming data as it becomes available in the Modem
buffers, and sends out data to the modems buffers, as they can accept
it.
