What better way to spend my birthday than testing various modems. I seem to have a weakness when it comes to modems, an impulse at buying. An inexpensive hobby, considering alternatives. Anyway, using 3 pc's, the below modems performed the same on each, a surprise since I believed a pc could effect performance on various modems.
Supra Express external 2730 46-49
Supra Express internal ISA 46-49
USR 00568600 external 40 retrain to 50
USR internal ISA 42
Boca Tidalwave internal 44
ActionTec LT Winmodem 38
ActionTec Call Waiting external 28
USR 00568603 external 28
New USR v.92 External 44 retrain to 50
These were initial connect speeds. No explanation for the 2 slow ones. A person stuck with one of those could be told that line isn't 56k compatible and never really know.
Not as extensive as Bootman's, but it served my purpose. Just thought I'd share.
