On "modern" (read: virtually any modem you'll find today) modems, this
is what you want to do. Set your rate to the highest your computer's
ports will support; the modem will then do flow buffering and flow
control. Particularly if you have compression enabled, you can see effective
throughput that exceeds the actual line rate of the modem.
You do have to program the modem properly--hardware flow control, etc. But
most modems come properly configured today; the only real change I usually
have to make for Unix systems is to cause DTR to drop on a lost connection,
and to set the idle timeout on some systems.
