Just change the bps option to 115200 is okay, the others are depending
on your ISP. In most of cases, 8N1 with flow control to HW is correct.
In general, if you don't encounter any problem, leave others settings as
default.

You don't have to upgrade to V.90 so soon until your ISP shift to V.90.
Some V.90 users encounter disconnection problem while they are using
v.90 but their ISP still using the earlier version X2 codes.
