| 158058 | 2003-07-07 09:54:00 | Hey Some more information may be required in order to fully 'diagnose' what is occuring. Do you have any other devices (phones/faxes/sky digital) hooked up to the same line while you connect to the internet? Have you had Telecom run a line test run on your phone line? How long has this been occuring? Also, there is a Faq - How come my 56k modem won't connect at 56kbps? (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) - while not particularly relevant to your cause, it does has some suggestions which may improve your internet connection CyberChuck |

The modem makes a different sound at times on my computer while it is trainng. Most times I get in at 48,000. Different sound at 31,200 which happens every now and then. My ISP is Xtra and I have an External modem. During School Holidays ( like now ) I find a busy signal trying to dial in. My opinion is that it probably isn't a dead modem / hardware problem. Tell the PressF1 helpers more. Like 1: What O/S do you use? 2. What Modem do you have? 3. Motherboard if the modem is Internal. 4. What Email client do you use? 5. Can you browse the Web with whatever Browser you use and what is the browser? Help us to help you. |

| 158060 | 2003-07-08 03:46:00 | I used to use a program called "Keep It Connected!" on Win98 that kept the modem connected and tried to connect at various speeds depending on the model and capability of your modem. From this it would determine the best connectin bit/rate for your modem. I dunno if it still exists. try searching Google for it. cheers, v.K |
