Well I will address your modem speed issue since I hear some of our users
complain about this quite a bit. Modems initially connect at the best speed.
however windows is not always true with it. Sometimes it connects at a speed a
little too high. Your modem will retrain itself to get to its maximal speed
whether it be slowing down or speeding up. I would do a file transfer to see
if the transfer speed is the same. If not try playing around with init
strings. You'd be amazed at how many people connect at 49k and then we look at
there actual speed on the terminal server and its like 40k. this used to be a
big flaw in the old x2. I think v.90 is the worst thing since windows. Anyone
who doesnt connect at the impossible 56,000 thinks that there isp is messed up
little do they know that their is many factors that play roles in your connect
speed.
