Subject: Is my machine too SLOW for 2400bps modems?

I have a Radio Shack model 4 w/ Montezuma Micro's CP/M 2.2.  I bought a 2400
buad modem a few months back, and while I've endured a problem with not
getting the first characters of the line, I can't stand this problem anymore.

I'm using Qterm 4.2f and I've also used MEX 1.12 (or some old version like
that).  Both worked beautifully for me when I had 1200 baud capability, but
now it seems that 2400 baud is too fast.  Is this true?  How do I fix it?  Is
it a problem of my machine waiting too long at the end of the line before
continuing on to the next line?

This is really annoying, and as I have wanted to get on a couple of new
bulletin boards around town, I can't effectively use them, since they're menu
driven, and the first 3-4 characters are lost, I can't read what character to
use for a particular function.  Sometimes it's intuitive, but most are not.
 

Has anybody else had this problem?  How do you solve it?  Is it a BIOS zap? 



HELP!!!!!
