Severity:          normal

kdenetwork/kppp/general.cpp:
"Specifies the speed your modem and the serial\n"
"port talk to each other. You should begin with\n"
"the default of 38400 bits/sec. If everything\n"
"works you can try to increase this value but to\n"
"no more than 115200 bits/sec (unless you know\n"
"that your serial port supports higher speeds)."

kdenetwork/doc/kppp/global-settings.docbook:
<term><guilabel>Connection Speed</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>Choose from the list of connection speeds supported by your
serial port.  Note that the serial port supports much higher speeds than your
modem in most cases. You should probably start with the highest number
available and only reduce it if you have connection problems.
</para></listitem>

This is still true in latest CVS. Which should be changed? 
I'd be more than happy to fix this.

Comment 2 Harri Porten 2003-07-25 20:20:56 UTC

The .docbook version is probably more adequate these days.
