Scholars,

If I connect to the Internet using IBM laptop with builtin Lucent
winmodem, connection and downloading of data are ok.

But when I dialup with Hayes Accura 56K external modem using Athlon
desktop, I can connect but downloading is poor and erratic.  most of the
time, I can't download.

Both are of the same telephone line.   I have tried under winxp and
Linux 2.4.22 kppp dialer for the Hayes but result is the same- poor.

Previously my Hayes had no such problem.  As my desktop is near the
balcony with sun shining in during afternoon, issit possible the heat
and the sunlight damaged the modem?  I have shifted the position of the
modem to away from the sunlight now.

Thanks
