- Hello.
-
- I have a US Robotics Sportser 28.8 modem and I am running Windows95. I use the
- 32-bit TCP/IP capabilities that came with Windows95 to connect to my Internet
- service provider.
-
- About half of my ISP's modems are 28.8 while the others are 14.4, but both
- types are connected to the one and only dial-in line. It's extremely
- frustrating when I connect at only 14.4. The only way I know how to force a
- 26.4+ connection now is to disconnect whenever I get (or "hear") a 14.4
- connection and keep re-dialing until I get a 26.4+ connection. That gets to be
- rather tedious. So ...
-
- Does anyone know of a simpler approach? For instance, is there a scripting
- utility that I can use to perform that tedious task for me? Any help would be
- much appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
