I'm running a 56K dial up modem. Has run ok till just recently when the speed dropped to 19.2Kbps, like overnight. I have had the line checked out by Telecom & all is ok. The technician connected his laptop to the line jack & his 56Kbps modem ran at 50Kbps. I replaced the modem with a new one, of same speed & it managed to run at 30Kbps. I have always (& it still is) set at the fastest option (921600bps).
Is something conflicting with the modems performance?
Can anyone help please?

Something may have changed on your phone line either inside or between you and the telco or at the telco CO - or even beyond that affects the particular modem type you are using.

To eliminate anything at your premises - do the 'demarc' test or equivalent - see
www.modemsite.com/56k/demarc.asp

Beyond that, you basically can't change things, so you would need to either try different modem type or check for different/later available driver or firmware for your modem.
What kind (CHIPSET) of modem do you have?

Thanks for your reply Richard.
The manual only states chipset is an "Intel HaM", & board has "J-3 D-X0 94V-O 0147" marked on it.
