I have a friend with a software upgradable zoom modem. (33.6 to 56k)he wants
to pay the $60 to upgrade but I told him I bought a 56k modem and my connect
speeds almost never get past 33.6. I told him there was a number from US
Robotics he could call (888-887-9248) that would test the line conditions
and tell him if it looks line the upgrade would increase his connect speed.
But when we tried the number (in hyperterminal) we got no answer. Is there a
new number or does anybody know of a way we could "test" the line to see if
it would help.
