- Hi,
-
- here's a strange problem and I was wondering if anyone has encountered
- such a thing with a USR Sporster 33.6k (external).
-
- (1) Computer was setup with a USR Sporster 28.8k (external) for both
- windows 95 and linux, and everything works nicely - regular
- dialup connection AND slip connection.
-
- (2) Purchased a NEW USR Sporster 33.6k and now connections has some serious
- problems on the same computer. When I type a single character, it would
- take ages for the response to come back to the screen (a lag in response
- from the modem). If I restrain the speed to 14400, the lag is
- decreased. If I further decrease the speed to 9600 (using at&NX) the lag
- is further decreased.
-
- What is going on here? This happens both in Windows 95 and Linux.
- The settings are default from USR. This problem is unbearable.
-
- Also occasionally, the modem will hang up even before the connection
- is established. <-- This is even more bizzare.
-
- Any suggestions by email will be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Terence Chin
