| 161734 | 2003-07-21 06:42:00 | is there a dialer program or a way to keep redialing untill you are connected at a desired speed..eg 50kbps | heni72847 (1166) | ||
| 161735 | 2003-07-21 07:50:00 | i think that idea is a waste of time. the logon speed is an rough guide of what speed you have. the speed you get 30 secs after you have connected can be totaly different. the main thing to worry about is your actual download speed. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 161736 | 2003-07-21 08:46:00 | still... if u did dial up at 21kbps no matter how fast the server lets u download u will still be limited that's all i'm worried about so logon speed does matter |

| 161738 | 2003-07-21 10:24:00 | Not so my friend, your logon speed is important because it can show if you got a crappy curcuit @ the exchange or modem end :D. I had some freeware somewhere that did that .... i will try to find it. Meanwhile go to webattack.com and search their freeware part for a dial-up manager. Cheers Patryn |

| 161739 | 2003-07-21 10:44:00 | If you are using a dial up modem you can use commands to force a specific connection, or make it redial and keep trying until it connects at that speed. The commands are sometimes referred to as Init Strings, you can read more from here: www.56k.com I had a Lucent 56k modem, and from memory used AT-V90=17 to get 48000. I found any higher was unreliable, and lower was slower. This site has more info: www.modemsite.com J :D |
