I have a brand new external USR 5686 faxmodem connected to a windows 2000 computer's serial port. I connect to two ISPs, AOL (v. 5.0) and Mindspring. Mindspring eventually connects at 24k and maintains the connection. But whenever I dial AOL, the connection gets dropped immediately. I have a 56k courier modem connected to an identical machine, which connects at 24k consistently to the same connections. I know the phone line is not the greatest, as it goes through an analog phone system. I expect that is why I can't connect at higher speeds than 24k. But is there something I can do about AOL dropping connections?
