I have tried everything to get a Lucent Winmodem to stay connected.Have the latest driver loaded too 5.97.Lines are good in the house as I have an old 28.8 modem that hooks no problem.Was told that proximity to a Bell switch box or relay may be a concern particular to these win modems.Anyone
confirm or deny this tidbit?Thank you very much. DoGG |

It could be that the Lucent is just incompatible with your ISP. I have one ISP in town that a Lucent just will not work with their system.

Hey Hal...so you dont think proximity to these relays and
distace a signal has to carry has anything to do with it? Thanx for the reply btw. DoGG |

It could also have an impact. Contact your ISP though and ask if they have any issues with Lucent modems, they might suggest a driver revision OTHER than the latest one.

Just because your older 28.8 works ok is no indication of line quality. What is your initial connect speed with Lucent?

Hey Sarge...
I am not so much talking line quality as I am attenuation. It was put to me that software based modems may have a harder time than hardware modems going the distance. DoGG |
