I have a network dial-in customer using Windows 95 and a USR Speedster 33.6
Modem. This customer is dialing into a Zoom 33.6 Modem hooked to a PM2e-30.
The customer has not been able to connect at speeds higher than 9600bps.
Any baud rate settings higher this within the Modem Properties causes the
modems not to negotiate at all. With this in mind, I personally removed
their USR and put in a Generic 33.6 modem which I use myself and know that
works. This modem reacted the exact same way as the USR. Seeing this, I
moved the computer to a different line. This new line runs through a PBX
within the building while the bad line runs direct to the phone company
switch building 1 block away. Both modems was then able to attach at speed
above 24400bps. Telling the phone company GTE this, the service technician
tested the bad line and said that the bad line was testing cleaner than the
line that worked.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
How about one like this with GTE?
Please comment.
Thanx
