Go to http://www.56k.com and/or : http://www.ascend.com/2134.html for more information. I believe the Winmodem is a software driven (RPI) modem, not hardware. With most RPI modems you'll be lacking some of the speed/ease of modems with dedicated chip drivers. You might try downloading the WinRPI driver from Microsoft and see if that helps your connect speeds. I know this was a common fix for RPI modems during my time at LavaNet. Apologies for no URL or more detailed info but my brain is hashed after 2 weeks of 12-14hr shifts at Sun. : LMK how you make out or if you have any discoveries.
