I have 1 ghz AMD... and 2 modems, 1 ISA (US Robotics Hardware Modem, ISA) and a PCI WinModem... somehow the Winmodem always connects at 51k and way faster while the USR Robotics ISA V.Everything connects way slower @ 46-48k only all the time. All are from the same line and computer. Strangely even when I tried changing the config strings it is still the same only at 48k only checked with countless sites on config strings. Is there some parameter on the EPOX board (8kta2) that will allow me to connect faster a little ? or something in Win2k that allows me to do so. Please advise. Thanks and appreciate
