- URGENT HELP REQUESTED....
-
- HI! Please help....
-
- I have a 14400 modem Hayes compatible.
- I have a PC 486DX2 66Mhz computer.
- My Internet provider supports 14400 and higher modems.
-
- I understand it should give me a download rate of 14400 bps...
- Yet in Netscape I see the web pages come in at 400 - 800 bps !!
- Also in ftp I download at a rate of 200 -- 800 bps!
- Why is that?
- Is my telephone line so bad?
- Is the modem setup wrong?
- Init string????
- What should I try ? How can I test my telephone line (how many bites
- it is capable of transferring).
-
- PLEASE SEND ME SUGGESTIONS. (preferably by email and not in the
- newsgroup, I don't want to bother the rest...)
-
- Thanks, Yossi Beck
