I have a 2 year old US Robotics Courier ISDN/V34 external modem.

I have hitched it up to a Backoffice SBS 4.5 server and used the default
modem driver built into NT.

I am not interested in the analog part of the modem, only to use it for ISDN
access at 64K.

It works reasonably well but I notice that I'm getting a lot of CRC and
hardware overrun errors reported by dialup networking monitor. This is I
think causing the speed of internet access to be less than it should be.

Do I need to use a different driver? If so, how can I easily replace the
driver without cocking up my RAS and DUN settings (which work but not
perfectly). This is a working server, in use all day, so I don't want to
cock it up.

Or does the firmware in the modem need updating? I note that most of the
drivers etc refer to the Courier ISDN / V90 modem, not V34.

Ideally what I would like is somebody to say, 'Oh yes, you can just add a
couple of commands into the modem init string to solve the problem without
updating anything'. Dream on, I suppose.

All help much appreciated.
