I've been trying to get my USR 56K V.92 #2973 to connect better than 28.8. I've done all the testing listed on this website. Connected directly to the CO line I get a difference of ~21 with 3750 being 45 dB. All init strings seem to do is slow me down. So, is there something else to try? Do my frequency numbers suggest a phone line that won't support 56k? Would a softmodem like advertised on this site help me? I notice v34 in the connection data but never v.90. I don't appear to have v.44. Am I just not initializing v.90? If the line is limiting me to 28.8, would that force me to v34 and not allow v.90?

Do you hear a 'double-handshake' when you first try to connect? [ www.modemsite.com/56k/trouble3.asp ]

Have you tried using Hyperterminal to dial into any other access numbers for other ISPs to see what connection rate you get?
www.modemsite.com/56k/trouble4.asp
www.modemsite.com/56k/x2-hyperterm.asp

Have you tried connecting the modem directly to the demarc and checking results of aty11 / compared to phone jack;

Try without extra initialization string and with AT&F1 from Hyperterminal.

Aloha! Richard.

I've tried all your troubleshooting from the demarc. Get 26.4-28.8K inside the house or outside. After listening to all your tones I still don't know what a double handshake is. My modem is a USR 56K PCI DF (2973. Modem-help.com calls it a USR Mohawk v.92 PCI controller (2973)(OEM), Chipset Family: Hawk V.92 controllers, Name: Hawk v.92 PCI DF.

I wanted to paste my modem log file here, but it looks like I can only paste the text. The local call is to Netzero V.92, 801-397-9715:

Here is the Hyperterminal log trying various local v.92 numbers as well as some from your list. I can never get thru to the USR numbers you have listed to check out line. I listed my modem commands at the end in case they're useful for your database.

So Richard, any feel for why I never see v.90 or v.92? Would I do better with the softmodem you sell?

The y11 result shows difference approaching 25 between the 3750 and 3300 levels which is not good -
www.modemsite.com/56k/x2-adconversion.asp

You probably have some impairment introduced by telco that will prevent good 56k performance even if you could find a modem that connects at a higher speed.

You might also find you get a higher speed (and shorter handshake) if you disable 56k on the modem you have ---

What all commands are involved in "disabling 56K"? V.92, V.90 in my case? How about v.34 or v.42? Anything else?

If my modem is v.92, why don't I see anything about disabling it in my commands?

Given that my line y11 is around 21-22, is there a protocol that performs better, such as v.44? Or a particular chipset that works good in marginal line conditions? Your softmodem seems to have all the protocols and a good chipset. Is it your experience that such a modem could help me?

By the way, I just upgraded motherboard/processor/memory. I couldn't get the PC to shut off via windows. The board retailer said they'd seen that problem with USR modems in the MSI board. MSI sent me settings for BIOS that fixed the problem. Makes me wonder if I have something onboard that keeps me in the v.34 realm.

I've seen some RF filters for sale. Can they help and what are the diagnostic clues?

I was having noise trouble on the phone line when using voice. The phone co. came out and switched out a pair, I'm not sure if at my house or at the phone box on the street. So, if I have crappy line quality to the CO, will a DSL service over the same lines also perform less than optimally?

s32=128 +PCW=2 +PIG=1 +PQC=3
will disable V.92/V.90 (56k)
www.modemsite.com/56k/ms.asp

Would a different modem do better? Probably not. You have very marginal line conditions. You may find other modem that reports higher line speed, but if throughput is actually tested/compared, the higher speed may actually be 'slower' (less data throughput) - www.modemsite.com/56k/faster.asp

Without knowing physical characteristics of your telco facilities, hard to answer your other questions - but, chances are the telco would have to change your physical facilities (wire pair to CO) in order to provide you with DSL - if they can provide you with DSL at all. Have you checked to see if DSL is availalable on your line?

Filter for phone line: a waste of money: they can only make things worse. The modem already employs sophisticated signal processing. Generally, at best, a filter will have no effect on modem, and, at worst, it will cause significant DROP in performance.

Aloha! Richard.

So is 56K synonymous with v.90? In my modem .ini file v.90 is never listed, however, there is a section called 56K. So, it should try v.92 first, but if it misses the handshake, does it try v.90 next, or does a USR drop all the way down to v.34 next?

When I try to install my driver, 3cpcicm.ini, I can never find it on the computer. When I check the modem driver, all I see is /modem.sys. Does the .ini get compiled into modem.sys?

Thanks for all your help. Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and get wifi or cable.

V.92 and V.90 are both 56k protocols;
V.92 = V.90 as far as downstream data transmission is concerned. The only difference between V.92 and v.90 is V.92's ability to do Modem-on-hold, quick connect, and (theoretically) faster upstream.
If modem cannot receive data with V.92, it will not be able to receive data with V.90.

Modem driver - modem.sys is the Microsoft Winodws operating system driver for ALL modems. It is not the 'modem driver' for the modem.
The .inf file is an 'information file' that defines the modem and its installation for Windows. The .inf file in use will be identified in the modemlog.
