Modem,new problem, I did a search and read 250 post for three hours last night, and I still need help, I live in the rural country, I have a USR Sporster 33600 Model # 00084005 ISA hard modem, that will not connect at 33.6 I've tried thirty different drivers, before 1996 and after , and still ,I know my ISP is connectable at 33.6 that is what my computer connects at,the modem in question is for the granddaughters machine, I too have a USR hard Modem OEM type that connects at 33. tho mine is a 56k, and our "actual connect is a lot slower, tho I just check and at 5AM it is at 24.42, usually it is around 9.80 or less, so my question, will a 33.6 modem not connect at 33.6 and what "string" might I need to add, and there must be a driver that is better..I've downloaded all USR has,Fax, voice, PNP, etc, none will connect at 33.6...Thank you for any and all help!
