I cannot figure why my internet connection dropped to around 28000 - 36000 bps.
There aren't any physical changes to the phone line (like new phones or answering machines attached to the line).
I downloaded the latest drivers, configured the COM ports to work at the highest speed and followed some instructions found on the www.tweak3D.net site.
My modem is a USRobotic Sportster 56K EXT that has been flashed to V90 some time ago. It now has the name US Robotics Voice EXT 56K.
The system runs on Win98 - P2 400, 256Mb, 16MbVoodoo3-2000.
I read some info about how to tweak the modem, but couldn't find anything about slow initial connection speed. Also, it is almost impossible to download updates and so on as the download speeds are under 1kbps.
Does anybody have any ideas or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks
