Recently installed Subj modem using latest drivers from BestData. Also reset my WinXPsp2 connectoids, etc., per directions my ISP provided thru netfaqs.com (great resource!). Getting pretty good performance (38.6-40 kbps) compared to old Dell-provided Conx HSF winmodem. But am confirmed tweaker. (1)Anybody know for sure what the chipset is? Appears to be Conx HCF, but partly crippled. (2)Anybody w/ experience tweaking this particular unit have suggestions?

What response do you get from modem to
ati3

Before tweaking, suggest
examine your modem's post-call diagnostics (AT#UD - decoded)

Check your throughput

ATI3 yields CX81801-V90

Thruput (per 'speedtest.ikano.com') is 4.36kb/s dl at effective 34.9 kbps bandwidth with modem & ISP reporting connect speed of 38.6 kbps. These figures typical of several trials at the same 38.6 kbps speed (which is the one I usually get). Comparable to Task Manager readout. I have noticed a serious thruoughput drop (up to 50% when dl'ing a big (50M) video file about 3-4 minutes into dl.
