    I have a 56K V.90 Winmodem from USR. My connect speeds are usually
48000, 46666, and 42666. Most of the time when I connect at 42.6 it runs
pretty good. However, if I connect above that speed it is painstakingly
slow. Pages load faster at 42.6 then they do at 48.0!!! Why is this? Is it
my ISP, or is something wrong with the modem. It seems like the modem cannot
handle the higher bandwidth, any suggestions. If I cannot fix it, is there a
way to tell my modem not to connect above 42.6? In modem properties there is
the highest connect speed, but the closest to 42.6 is 38.4. Please E-mail
responses to me.
                        Thanks,
                                Pete

USR modem stalling and Unable to Retrain problems---

 It means the modem is having a lot of trouble maintaining the speed at
 which it thinks it should be able to stay connected.

 In that ati6, you will also see what speed the modem was last connected
 at. Examine that. If it is high, or fairly so, you might consider
 trimming the range in which the modem operates to bring it down a notch
 or two. For instance, if the speed was 49333 then try limiting the
upper
 limit to say 48000. You can do this through the use of the &Unn&Nnn
 command parameters. You must use both parameters or it will not work
the
 way you want. To find the values, go into a terminal program and
 enter...

 at&$

 Choose a value for &U that is low enough to be comfortable, like the
 value for 19200. Choose the value for the &N that reflects a step or
two
 down from the speed shown in that ati6 you dumped.
 Put these values in your Extra settings box and try that.

 No guarantees but it's worth a try.
