I just wanted to thank all that offered suggestions. I changed from
the Apple v92 to the Apple v34 script. I connect much quicker, first
time every time. I am still at 26400 but I can live with that. To
think I have been suffering through this unnecessarily for almost 2
years.

Kevin,
The main problem is the difficulty connecting. I have to try 8-10
times with my eMac where my laptop PC connects the first time,
everytime.

Unfortunately. buying another modem will not cure your dial up speed.
I would investigate moving to some sort of high speed connection.
There are a number of wireless companies out there, however, cost
might be prohibitive. I would hazard a guess that the speed you are
connecting at with your eMac is the fastest it can do under the
circumstances. It will never be worth investing in a USB modem to
improve your speed by 2 kilo bits per second.
I wish you luck getting into high speed.

I live in a rural area and have a great deal of difficulty
connecting to my ISP with my internal modem in my eMac. When I do

Has anyone experienced this problem? I am considering buying an
external USB modem to see if it works better? Any suggestions?
Comments are appreciated.
