What software do i need to upgrade from my current speed of 33.6 to 26kbs? And also, where can i download this software?	Guest (0)

First you need to establish (in most cases) the modem model, chip manufacturer and version number then, do some research as to the method/sequence to follow in installing new drivers and flashing the modems ROM with a firmware upgrade. Some modems will curl up their toes if you get it wrong. I also imagine that HP used more than one brand or type of modem even in the same model and year of manufacture. Try your manual for your first clue then hit the internet. Usefull site to look at: <www.modem-help.co.uk HTH Murray P	Guest (0)

53846	2002-06-11 09:23:00	Hiya E I would look at a few sites for updated modem drivers to increase the efficiency of your modem. First try the HP site welcome.hp.com or welcome.hp.com enter your PC model and search for software/driver upgrades. If no joy there, take a look on the Modem Site for info 808hi.com or look on Google (www.google.com) Good Luck J.	Guest (0)
