- I have some weird stuff going on with my modems and I'm hoping someone
- may have an idea. I have win95 running netscape with one
- ImagiNation generic 28.8 fax/modem (so-called Hayes compatible,
- V.34/V.32bis Data, and V.42bis/MNP-5 Data compression) and one 14.4
- modem (C.L PhoneBlaster). I have two dial-up accounts with two
- different providers. The 14.4 works beautifully everywhere. The 28.8
- sets itself up in w95 as generic 28.8V.34-V.FC. Whenever I use one of
- the dial-up account with this setting I get drop-outs, regular failures
- to connect, irregular speeds maxing at 26400, and just basically pain.
- The other account is more stable: I get better connections, higher
- speeds more often, less drop-outs, less problems. Either way though,
- neither by any means make me happy. In addition, I have this pc running
- on a ne2000 network. When the other machines in the network aren't
- running, my pc brings up all my ppp dial-up boxes for each account
- and modem one after another. Then the more problematic account becomes
- completely unruly, telling me the server I'm dialing into isn't
- answering after I've already heard it make a connection. The techies at
- ImagiNation told me to set it as Hayes Optima V34-Vfc 28.8 in setup but
- it makes no difference. Also, no matter which modem I set it up as,
- when I do a diagnostic from the modem Control panel, the ATI1 always
- registers an error.
-
- Can anyone tell me if I bought a lemon of a modem, or if there's a way
- to cure this insanity? Why does one account (the one I want to cancel
- by the way) give me less problems than the other with the same modem?
- What can I do?
-
- Help please.
-
- Thanks, Rafael.
