| chuckssite Tl Posts: 2 USA | Posted - 3/28/2001 11:31:33 PM    3Com used to have a bulletin board at 1 847 262-6000 that would allow one to check the capability of the telephone line to see if it is capable of 56K. I think that is no longer in service as I continually get a busy signal. Can anyone verify that it is no longer useable? Better yet, can anyone provide an alternate method of checking line speed capability. I rarely get greater than 22K throughput with my 56K 3Com PCMCIA card in the laptop or Rockwell 5K modem in my desktop. Yet if I take the laptop elsewhere I can connect and run in the 45-53K range. Any suggestions? Thanks. Chuck Miller |

I've been connecting up to 50 and laughing ever since. Seems you've already found your answer, if modem works well on other lines. Your line is probably impaired. |
