Thanks for info but ....

The upgrade for this Dynalink (which is also an ASKEY and marketed under
several other brand names ) is contained within EPROM which is not
software upgradeable directly from a PC (contrary to what is implied in
the handbook that comes with the modem). There is no way, of which I am
aware, that this modem can upgraded by external software. By the way it
is an external modem, so whatever motherboard it's used with  - PCI,
VESA or ISA the most important thing is to use a buffered UART (16650 or
equivalent) and most of the latest motherboards have onboard nowadays. 

Somewhere along the line I think you've been misinformed concerning any
external software that will make the 28K version of this modem go any
faster :-))))))


Further to my original posting..........

I've not been able to get a connection at more than 31,200 Baud using
V34, anyone  got better than that with one of these modems connected to
Demon ???
