- I just installed a new 33.6 modem (generic) with USR's chipset.
-
- There are a few problems; can someone diagnose them for me?
-
- Every minute there's a 35 second delay where anything I type isn't sent.
- Then at the end of the delay, everything goes at once. Could this be a
- retraining period? It seems to delay just as often as it doesn't.
-
- Anytime text scrolls fast, it turns to garbage until the scrolling ends.
-
- When a line is busy, the modem doesn't send a BUSY result. It just keeps
- the DTR up till the user hits ESC.
-
- The technician I bought it from says I have poor phone lines, but I never
- had these problems with the old 14.4.
-
- Is it the modem or the phone line? I'm tempted to return the modem.
