- I use the Cardinal 2881(version 1.4 firmware) to connect to my ISP who uses
- USR modems. When I set the modem string to connect with V.34, I always get a
- 28.8 connection, but the line quality is in the upper 30's to low 50's and my
- download speed (as measured with netscape download) often goes down to as low
- as 2.0 K/sec. When I set the modem to connect with V.FC, I almost always
- connect at 24.0 (sometimes at 26.4). The same downloads usually go down to
- 2.5 K/sec., while the line quality is much better - in the teens. I've tried
- various Trumpet Winsock settings and modem string adjustments, but this is the
- best I have been able to achieve. Any ideas on how to either increase the
- V.FC connect speed or the line quality and download speed for the V.34
- connection would be greatly appreciated.
