I've been using win2k for the past 2 years, and it connected at 56k speeds with DEFAULT settings, default 56k driver that ships with win2k and default port settings, no init string. nothing. THis is with a SupraExpress external Serial modem.
But ever since i switched to xp a week ago, i've only been able to connect at 14.4!!, argg wtf. again, This is also with default settings, default driver, same phone number. I tried using hte modem to detect line noise, but there was none. tried downloading a win2k driver but it won't let me install it, saying its older than the current driver.
I also tried plugging the modem into my laptop with winxp, and exact same thing. what gives??
any help appreciated!!!! thanks all
*update - managed to install the win2k drivers, still connects at 14.4, bandwidth test suggest 6.8Kbps
