   2. With the SYSTEM.INI file highlighted, select "Copy" from the "File" menu.
      
      
   3. In the "To:" box of the Copy dialog box, type: SYSTEM.BAK
      
      
   4. Select "OK" to copy the file.
   
   
2. Change to the updated Windows communications driver called WFXCOMM.DRV:

   2. Change the comm.drv= line to read as follows: comm.drv=wfxcomm.drv
   3. Select "Save" and then "Exit" from the File menu.

   1. Exit all applications you are running and Exit Windows.
      
      
   2. Restart Windows.

Your 144/144 faxmodem should now fax at 14,400 bps to another 14,400 bps faxmodem or fax machine.

If you find that you are having difficulty with 14,400 bps faxing, consider making these adjustments to your SYSTEM.INI file as recommended by Delrina.

Reopen your SYSTEM.INI file, go to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI, and look for a group of lines that begin with COMx, where x is your faxmodem's COM port number.

Create or edit these lines as follows, making sure you type your faxmodem's COM port number in place of x:

COMxFIFO=2

COMxBUFFER=4096

COMxTXSIZE=16

COMxRXSIZE=8

COMBOOSTTIME=40

NOTE: 2 is an undocumented but valid option for COMxFIFO.
