- As with any modem manufacturer, Cardinal does not use RPI in ALL of their
- modems- only some of them (if any- I don't know), the cheaper ones. You must
- check the model number. The other possibility (besides a busy computer on the
- other side) is that the phone line quality is poor and the modem is retraining
- or falling back (which takes much less time than retraining) to a slower
- speed. If the modem firmware is written poorly, it couldn't bounce up and down
- (with the delay) causing a much slower transfer than if it stayed lower in the
- first place. Once again, I do NOT know the modem or if this IS the problem.
