Hello all,

I know that there have been many posts along this thread, but until
recently, I'd only had one point of reference.

I have a 33.6 USR Sportster with voice/data/fax, which I have been using
with the same ISP for almost 3 years.

It has NEVER connected faster than 26,400.
A few months ago I had reason to connect an old Packard Bell P100 to the
same phone line (the system w/the 33.6 was on the bench for repairs).

The PB has an all-in-one 28.8 fax/modem sound card.
While using the PB, I connected (same phone line, same ISP, same times
of day) consistently at 28,800.


I recently installed a "56k" V.90 Lucent chip set modem into a friend's
computer, and it also dials up at 26,400.

Is there a reason for this inconsistency between modems?
Is there any way to get them up to speed?

Thanks!
Kim Hillyer
