I have an USR External 56K external modem- model 5686-02 on my PC at work. We have multiple phone lines on the phone but I have a dedicated modem phone line. The fastest I can connect on my HP PC is 26,000 to 28,000.
I am the web master for the companies Web page and too impatient for these low speeds.

Our Systems Administrator is at a loss at why I can not connect faster. He is down the hall from me with a dedicated modem line and connects at 49,000 with an identical modem!
Any string settings I can add to connect faster?

Thank you.

Dennis

Take your modem down the hall and try it. If stays at your lower speed, it's modem. Otherwise, your own line has an impairment.

No 2 phone lines are the same.
Check for a/d conversion on your line.
