Bought used for $1 along with another that works at about 46K.  We will 
compare components some day.

It can't, will check the resistors, thanks.

Adding AT&N16\r before the phone number might set it to 33.6Kbps. (My 
manual is for a 28.8k modem).  Can I combine AT&F1&N16\r ?  But the bbs 
runs at 14.4K anyway.

Kermit only asks you to set line and set speed and provide phone number 
(but you can also write a script to log in).

Will try this soon.  Smaller than microcom.

Microcom does not work with my bbs. It worked with another one that no 
longer supports dialins.
