It helped mine and i have an internal modem	Dannz (1668)

354321	2005-05-14 00:40:00	It helped mine and i have an internal modem i doubt it. after all it only changes the rate of data between the pc and the modem (external). it dosn't change the way the modem connects to the phone line. also internal pci modems generally bypass that setting as it dosn't actually use a normall com port. pci modem use a "work around" to function which is why the modem overclock is not recommended for pci modems. on rare occasions i have seen it help, however once the problems of the pc where fixed (lack of correct drivers) it became reduntant.	tweak'e (69)
