RE: win2000 dialup problem

[Miley, Dan]

I had a problem with a new compaq (cheapie) winmodem on my home machine.  I
also got the message "remote computer not responding" or something...

compaq swapped the modem 3 times, reloaded the new drivers 4 x, (and told me
how to turn the volume down 5 times!) before they sent me a line filter to
go in line with the phone line.  You might find one at rat shack.

fixed the prob.

I'd try another modem/pc combination on the same line/ISP to see if it's in
the workstation, or the connection.

Try lowering the port speed
Older PCs may have weak UARTs that are not capable of high speed communications. As a result, you may get frequent dropped connections and/or poor modem performance due to resent packets. 

To test this, try lowering your port speed to 38400 or even 19200. If the dropped connections cease, a slow UART may be the problem. A replacement serial port card should fix the problem. 

For use with a 56K modem, you want at least 16550 UART. Internal 56K modems should include a 16550 or higher UART on the card.
