Basically you need to ensure that the modem, after answering the call
and training, is going to 'talk' to the host system at 38400 bps.
Normally, on going out through a modem it will autobaud to whatever the
host is using for the comms port speed, but on incoming it will default
to the speed that it was running when the setup parameters were saved.
This means that you need to connect to the modem from a host (or
terminal) at 38400 and save whatever setup params you want the modem to
use at that speed!
