| dwdemain Tl Posts: 2 USA | Posted - 11/18/2000 12:49:55 AM    I recently upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. My modem is a USR ISA winfax, and the driver with Win2K loaded fine and seems to be working fine. I have not been able to find a newer driver from 3com/USR for this particular modem. The problem: under Win98, I routinely got connection speeds of 49,333 with an occasional 50,666 or 52,000. Since the upgrade to Win2000, the maximum speed I can get it to connect at is 31,200. I have verified all port settings, etc. Any suggestions as to how to get my old performance back? (aside from going back to Win98) Thanks |

Do you hear the boings in the handshake? If you do not, V.90 connection is not being attempted which would be caused either by incorrect port speed (applies to modem w/ real COM port only) or bad init string. Aloha, |
| dwdemain Tl Posts: 2 USA | Posted - 11/24/2000 10:21:43 AM My port speed is set to 115,200 (that was the first thing I checked). I'm not getting the boings in the handshake, so no 56k connect is even being tried. Since the only driver I can get for the modem is the one included in Win2000, I suspect a bad or incomplete INIT string. Any ideas on how to change it? Thanks |
| v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 12/2/2000 8:22:49 AM You can put &F1 in extra settings that resets the modem to factory default for high speed connections (this &F1 valid only with USR modems); This will over-ride DUNS commands to modems; You could then look at modemlog to see what command is causing 56k to be disabled; www.808news.com/56k/modemlog.htm Aloha, |
