- Barry,
- What settings did you use with your modem, what operating system do
- you use? I have the same modem ,same version dates and I use win95'.
- I have all sorts of trouble with my modem as far as getting connected,
- once I am connected to it works great. I upgraded from a USR 14.4
- V.42bis that worked flawlessly using the same setup I have now, but
- this 28.8 V.34+ is bogus.
- I would really like to know what you did to get the performance that
- your so happy with , and maybe I could apply it to my own.
- really don't want do downgrade to 14.4 again,but maybe another brand
- 28.8
- is in the future.
