Hayes 56K modem always connects at 28.8.

[BlackHoleSun]

It has since I bought it. Using the proper software. What's up? Its a Hayes Accura 56k + fax.

Be sure you are dialing a 56K modem and not a 28.8 modem.

Are you dialing your ISP or PC to PC

Also are you sure you're modem and ISP are both V90? When I got my Diamond Supra Express, it still had the Kflex software and it connected always at 28.8 or 33.6 and made racked while doing it!:) I had to upgrade the firmware to V.90 and it connected better...connects constantly 46-49k now. HTH

I hope you didn't buy it recently. Hayes has been out of business for over a year, and no longer support anything.
You may find an updated driver at http://www.windrivers.com but that's about it.
There are so many factors that go into your internet speed, that it's hard to pinpoint what the problem is.
Start by doing <a href="=http://help.ibm.net/helplib/tlcoinfo.html">this test</a> then read <a href="=http://www.hal-pc.org/~wdg/56k.html">this</a> then read <a href="=http://www.maximumpcmag.com/reprint/archive22.html">this</a> then read <a href="=http://www.tweak3d.net/tweak/modem/">this</a> then get iSpeed from <a href="=http://members.cnx.net/reboot/modems/">here.</a>
Then play to your hearts content.

Run diagnostics and post your ATI3 response, please. I have an old Accura too and know my way around it. Also, what is the exact model number - 4 digits followed by "US" normally.
