tims alter ego Tl Posts: 1 Canada | Posted - 6/23/2000 12:18:55 PM I've got 2 modems, a. U.S.Robotics 56k Win INT TI, and b. HCF Conexant MW560CI. Firstly, USR's canadian counterpart has exchanged my modem with me 3 times. I started with a PCI, now it's an ISA go figure. I CANNOT connect with the USR modem higher than 31,200, REGARDLESS of isp, and location in my city. My second though was use the other modem. I cannot even get windows to Recognize the modem. Does anyone have any sugesstions??? |

v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 7/4/2000 12:23:58 PM As far as 33.6k max connect - check for more than 1 a/d conversion www.808news.com/56k/x2-adconversion.htm As far as getting 2nd modem to work: running more than 1 software modem (ie Winmodem) in a PC can be difficult to impossible. Obviously, the HCF is software modem; USR makes both, but my guess is you have a Winmodem. Your best bet would be to make the 2nd modem a hardware-controller modem - but, if you do not have a 56k-compatible line, 33.6 is the best you'll ever do with any modem! Aloha, |
