- I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem my friend is having and I'm
- hoping someone out there can help me.
-
- Ok, my friend has a 28.8 modem (we also tried this with a 14.4 so the
- brand name doesn't matter.. Trust me..
-
- Ok whenever he connects to a BBS or internet provider it only connects
- at 9600.. We have bought and returned different modems but all have
- the same effect, 9600.. We took his computer (with modem inside) to my
- house and plugged it into my phone line.. guess what.. It worked
- fine..
-
- Ok, my friend lives in Tustin/Orange area and I'm in Huntington
- Beach.. My friend lives in a condo/apt type complex where there are
- multiple units to one area.
-
- Now I've heard that some places have somesort of Digitial converter or
- something that will connect multiple phone lines (say his neighboors)
- into one line. When the lines are merged they are also cut down to a
- 9600 max bandwith?? I read this in a magazine..
-
- My friend called the phone company (Pac Bell) and they said they dont
- do that (yeah right, what do the operators know about what goes on
- underground) and they also said that Digital connections aren't
- covered under their warranty service (no kidding, but a modem sends an
- Analog signal).. Anyways, they couldn't help him (or didn't know
- how)..
-
- So some answers I'm looking for is..
-
- 1) why is it only connecting at 9600 (no matter what Modem I use over
- 9600)
-
- 2) how can he solve the problem.
-
- Thank you so much for your help with this issue.... It very
- appreciated.
