I have a 56k LT winmodem and I am using 5.32.  My ISP is Kflex only.  I
cannot get the modem to connect any faster than 33.6.  Can anyone tell me
what to do?

I tried switching to software flow control and using at&fx in the extra
settings; this results in a connect which reads 115000 however my download
speeds are still at around 3.7 per sec.

Finally, my modem always configures as ltwinmodem, is there any way I could
get it to use a standard windows driver for 56k.  I think I tried before and
it kept saying the port was open (I think because it tried to configure the
modem to com port 2 however the modem seems to have to be on port 3.)
Thank you for any help.

Well, if you've got a V.90 modem, your best bet is to bitch to your ISP and
see when they're going to switch to V.90.  Most manufacturers have a
software upgrade to V.90 available.  If your ISP's sysadmin isn't sure about
going to V.90 I'd be happy to talk to him.  I've been admin over several
ISPs and I've seen a lot of equipment that's gone from both X2 and K56Flex
to the V.90 standard.  He'll probably say that V.90 isn't totally
straightened out, but what he's heard only really applies to end user modem
software.

I really think this is going to be your best route.  I haven't seen a
manufacturer yet that hasn't offered the V.90 upgrade for free.

Best of luck,

Tony
