It's possible that that's the best your phone line can do. However, here's something that might help. I am also using an LT WinModem and was ALWAYS connecting at 24,600. Adding the modem settting S38=0 to suppress K56 Flex and force the modem to start negotiating at V90 is now consistently giving me connect speeds of 37,333 or better. (I also have an impaired phone line and don't expect a lot better than this.) The lastest firmware revision is 5.29 available at http://www.multiwave.com/support/download.htm That also helped for me. (Also, I have found that using the -V90 parameter to force higher speeds often results in a faster reliable connection than the modem negotiates. I believer that even with version 5.29, there is still room for serious improvment in the firmware for this modem.) Whether this helps you will depend on your particular phone line and situation. I'd be interested to know if it does. Good luck Greg Julio Alano wrote in message ... >Is anyone else suffering from this or is it just me? >Any comments are welcome. >I am in Washington State area.
