| 182814 | 2003-10-13 21:22:00 | I actualy have the same problem as u.My external modem shows 115200bps.I downloaded the driver for my modem.To my surprise.After 10 minutes the modme just won't send any data packets across and won't even received.I had to use window 98se's default modem setting. My friend's computer doesn't work with that driver.It needs my real modem driver. Interesting. !! |

| 182815 | 2003-10-13 21:23:00 | Oops sorry about that. the Computer hates me | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 182816 | 2003-10-13 23:38:00 | isn't there a way to fix this?? | heni72847 (1166) | ||
| 182817 | 2003-10-14 04:40:00 | An external modem will talk to the computer at 115.2 kbps through a serial port if the port can handle that. A PCI internal modem might be talking to the computer at a higher rate, even if it is said to be connected at 115.2 kbps --- PCI is a parallel bus which runs faster than that. I don't see the need for much of a "driver" for an external serial connection modem. That's RS232C and nothing to do with the Vxx modem (telephone line) standards. USB externals probably need a driver, for the USB bit, and because modem manufacturers can save money by making the CPU silicon do the work. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 182818 | 2003-10-14 20:09:00 | If u download at 4 to 3k im sure its pretty fine running the default driver.Im running at 115200bps and im downloading between 3.5 to 5 k.Im at new plymouth and the upload speed is about 3 to 2 k What i experienced was that after i install and downloaded the driver for my actual modem itself.The connectio didn't work after 5 minutes |

| 182819 | 2003-10-14 20:10:00 | Oh my 56k connects to a com port.I wonder is there any speed difference between com port and usb.I mean there's a limit of how 56k can handle in terms of speed.Hmm!!! My dad says there isn't much.Just that usb are now the most useable device! |

| 182820 | 2003-10-14 23:31:00 | i can also plug it in paralell port will that speed it up also my other internal modem goes at 5k on the same line... external modem is slower for some reason |

| 182821 | 2003-10-15 02:45:00 | I doubt very much whether you can plug it into the parallel port. :D You will find that the 25-pin cable or adaptor which you have as an alternative to the 9-pin one is, like the 9-pin one, a female one. The 25-pin connector on the back of your computer will also be a female one: the parallel and serial ports are of opposite genders in the PC world. (The confusion which always reigned in the real RS232 serial world was never nice :_|). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 182822 | 2003-10-15 03:50:00 | er...okay.... also if it's not V90 standard it should still reach like 5kb/s riight?? |

| 182823 | 2003-10-15 03:55:00 | That depends on which V number it is. The 56kbps of V90/92 is a maximum rate for the downwards (to you) transfers; the maximum speed the other way is 33.6kbps. There are various overheads which cut the actual rate down. 5kBps would be a pretty good speed. Depending on the quality of the phone line you could get less. (B= bytes, b = bits). It might be a 33.6 kbps modem which would be pushed to get 4 kBps. :D |
