I'm interested in buying an external modem for a 286 laptop
I believe it's running at 12 Mhz and am not sure of what type
of serial controller it has. What is the maximum Kbps rate
it could handle?
Thanks in advance ...

Your PC have possibility to comunicate with other COM equipments on 57600,
but from tehnical reason max. speed is 9600. My sugestion is : buy 14400
modem, set up comunication between Your pc and modem on 9600 and setup
communication speed with other modem on 14400. Of course Your pc is ready
to use MNP5 protocol and FAX.

1. Megahertz 2400 bps Laptop modem in Compaq LTE/286.
While away from home I would like to use my Compaq LTE/286 with Procomm
Plus for DOS and a Megahertz 2400 bps Laptop Modem model C324 to access
my ISP via my telephone credit card.
The number I have to place is 1-800-487-7646-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-507-359-8050,
where the xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is my AT&T card number.
That's too many numbers to enter into my dialing directory, but through
the use of prefix and suffix codes I succeeded on a trial run with the
Atlas Peripherals modem on my desk top computer.
Here's what I used for the prefix codes:
A 1-800-487-7646,,,,,1
B xxxx-xxxx-xxxx,,,1,
C 1-507-359-8050
I just used ABC for the telephone number in the Procomm Plus dialing
directory.
Unfortunately, however, I found that I can't get this method to work
with my Laptop. Apparently my modem needs to suck in all those
numbers before dialing, and that exceeds the Megahertz modem's capability.
Can anyone suggest a way to accomplish my goal of accessing that long
number with my Laptop equipment?
Please reply directly. My ISP's news service is undependable.
