This procedure applies only to connections using a modem or COM port.
The changes that you make to the port settings affect only this connection.
The port settings for your modem are automatically set when you install the modem, and you typically do not need to change these settings. However, you can modify port settings for a connection with special requirements. For example, a server you connect to might require that you disable data compression or reduce the port speed. To get Help for an item in the Connection Preference dialog box, right-click the item, and then click What's This?.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
