It may very well be that your phone line does not support that speed.  I
read that if the switching station to you phone line is more than three
miles away, you'll have problems with speed.  I can only connect at 31200
with my modem and my transmit speed is reported at 26,000 and change.  Try
this site to test your phone line quality.

You can dial in to their BBS (although it's long distance, you can get the
results in a couple of minutes.

I have a v.90 modem and dun always reports 26,400.Sysmon reports 26,400 on
large transfers,it starts out initially at 3.7 to 4.0 but levels out at
26.4.I would accept this if 26.4 varied on dun at different log in times but
it does not.

I have tried many .inf files and extra inits but the above is the best I
have been able to achieve.

I am 1500 cable feet from a digital loop concentrator remote.The remote is
connected by 15 miles of fiber to the local terminal co-located with a
DMS-10 central office switch.The remote and local terminal of the DLC each
have D/A conversion and the switch converts analog to digital on the line
equipment card.This results in 3 D/A conversions in my service loop,not
counting modem,so I suspect this is the problem.But,why always 26.4?It could
and should be slower from time to time.

Not much help but hope info helps.

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

Hi, I have the same problem down here in the Tampa Bay area.  I have a Zoom 56k
ext. dual mode modem what connectes only at 26.4k.  The phone company says that
I have "clean" lines and that I am only 2.7 miles from the nearest switching
station (i was told that it should be less than 3.5 mile).  Have tried many
different init. strings w/o success.

You might want to try visiting this site ...

http://www.56k.com

I have gone to this site and found it very useful .. has links to all the
manufacturers and gives help to those having problems with their  56K and V.90
modems.

I am usually connecting at 31200 and true transfer speeds are in the 25500 to
28800 area.  I have connected as high at 46400.

You may want to try disconnecting any and all phones in your home.  Sometimes
one phone disconnected can make a difference.

Hope this info helps!

I don't have v90, but one thing you might be sure to check with your ISP to
be sure he has given you the correct phone number for their v90 service. My
ISP has v90 service but you have to tell them that you want it. Otherwise,
the regular phone line just connects to older 28.8 modems.

Sounds to me like your phone line is not capable of supporting 56k.
This depends on how your phone is connected to the telco which may cause
too many analog to digital to analog conversions.

Join the crowd. I guess the only real cure would be to move or buy digital
service. I think I might just wait and stick with the V.34.

I recently upgraded my USRobotics to a v90.   With one  ISP I would get only
connects upto 26.4, this happened with the 33.6 USRobotics as well. With another
ISP I get connects of up to 41.3  with file downloads of up to 5.0k per sec
(depending on the time of day). I connected a brand new Magitronics PCI v90 modem
to the same computer and the same ISP yesterday and would only connect at up to
28.8 .  the Magitronics PCI v90 cost $89 Can, the USRobotics sells for about $189
Can. I guess you do get what you pay for maybe.

try this one

you can increase the last number but that doesn't work for me.

What's a good init for my motorola modemsurfr 56k internal?
Everything I've tried only gives a 26.4 connection [max]
And A download speed of 2.66 Kbs [max]

You are NOT alone.  I, too, have been taken in by this "56K" scam.

My 33.6 USR winmodem consistently connected at 31.2

My X2 USR winmodem usually connected at 28.8 (to USR X2 dialup)

My V.90 USR winmodem usually connects at 26.4 (to USR V.90 dialup)

USR, to its shame, blames my phone line.  I wonder how my phone line
knows to degrade itself every time I get a supposedly-faster USR modem???
