- I recently purchased a USRobotics 28,800 data/fax modem (internal). I have a 486 DX2/66 IBM with
- windows 3.1.
-
- I am consistantly getting connected at 14,400 or 16,800. What can I do to correct the problem?
- I also get garbage characters coming in when I should be entering my user name and password.
-
- We just installed a new seperate phone line for the computer and have a data/link connection for this
- line. When I connect with my older 14,400 internal on a different Com port and IRQ everything is fine.
-
- Should I just give up on the new modem? Would a different brand modem be better?
- Seems several are pleased with their Motorola.
-
- Any advice, places to look on the web would be greatly appreciated.
