The maximum speed you get depends on the quality of your phone line. Are you sure that the in-house wiring is good? You may have a noisy phone line, sonething your telco is supposed to correct. Back in the old days I used a 9600 bps modem but it wouldn't go past 4800 bps. So I called KPN (the telco here) to ask them what to do about it. The lady on the other end knew *nothing* about modems so she could not help me. Some time afterward I used that modem again - without changing anything - and suddenly I had a 9600 bps connection! Later I learned that KPN replaced an analog exchange in a nearby town with a digital one and the speed cap was caused by that old exchange. -- http://ebg13.com \\|// Registered Linux user #78364 - The Linux Counter - http://counter.li.org Assume nothing, expect anything. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
