The connect 9600 message is from your modem telling you it connected with
another modem at 9600. After that, the software can slow down the speed
it uses to communicate with the modem. The computer to modem speed doesn't
have to be the same as the modem to modem speed in today's modems.
If they slowed down the AOL program in the Zoomer to 2400, and you connect
at 9600, your effective rate is 2400.
