Hi Listers,
For 6 months now I have been trying on and off to get decent internet speeds
(at least 40,000k) using two different 56K PC Card Modems and all I can get
is 31,200. I have went to "modem speed test" pages and they always report in
the high 20,000. I started with OS 7.6.1 and now am using OS 8.1 with 36
megs of ram.
So, my question is there anyone out there that has a 500 series and a PC
Card modem and IS getting 40,000-48,000+ speeds?
Are you sure it's not the phone line? The kind of computer shouldn't affect the connect speed of the modem (although setup sting can). If you are maxing out at 31,200 it sounds like your line isn't making the grade. Try the modem on a different line.
If there is tell me what PC Card you are using. I want one.
