- I have a curious problem. When I connect to my ISP from home, I get on
- at 9600 bps. This is cool because at home I use a TI laptop (Win 3.1,
- wfxcomm.drv) with an internal V.32 modem that maxes out at 9600. My
- modem string at home includes error correction and compression.
-
- When I connect to the ISP at work (using same POP#) I get a 26,400 bps
- connect - with my USR Sportster 28800 - internal. The connection also
- includes error correction and compression.
-
- The problem is that my home connection has BETTER throughput! The laptop
- is a 486 DX2/50, while I'm using a P90 (WFWG 3.11, comm.drv) at work. Go
- figure. I'm getting all kind of CRC errors and overruns on the machine
- at work. I guess that could be at fault. I'm using both a Matrox
- Millenium and an Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI adapter at work, and I hear that
- either of these could be messing with my comms. I've tried a bunch of
- stuff from the NAVAS FAQ, like enabling FIFO's and increasing buffer
- size. What next? HELP!!!
