I purchased this modem about two years or so ago and all of a sudden I have been having tons of problems with being disconnected from the my ISP without warning multiple times in a row. I also have been getting dropped from modem to modem gaming after an average of 12-17 minutes as well as experiencing the "hyper-slip" when units seem to "slip" to a different position very quickly. I have talked to the ISP and phone company and neither are apparently having any problems. For a while now it seems that the modem will disconnect from the ISP at least once everytime I go online. I also have been seeing that a few people are having trouble connecting at speeds over 33,600 or so, I have been having this trouble as well. Is it time to go out and get a new modem or can this one be salvaged? Any help or suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance for the assistance .

You don't have valid results in your screens -
Make sure HyperTerminal is connected to the COM port, not the modem name.
www.808news.com/56k/x2-hyperterm.htm
and try again;
or make the test call from HyperTerminal itself

You are not getting 56k; My guess is you are on incompatible for 56k digital SLC.

Your upstream rate is showing 33.6k while downstream at 28.8k;

I would suggest disabling 3429 and possible other symbol rates to reduce your connect speed & see if problem goes away. Also include disable 56k in your string.

ATs$ in hyperterminal will display s-register settings to disable symbol rates.

Disable 56k: www.808news.com/56k/trouble2.htm
