Subj : Dial-up modem To : All From : Digital Man Date : Fri Feb 10 2012 01:10 am Re: Dial-up modem By: Digital Man to All on Wed Feb 08 2012 12:32 am The new ($12 external USB) modem came today and it appears to be working *better* than the internal (GVC PCI): I can at least make a connection from a remote system, but the best rate I've been able to achieve was 28800/21600, rather than the 33600/33600 that I would expect. Please let me know your experiences with the new modem and I'll be keeping an eye on the logs. It might be time to bring an old-fashioned USR external modem out of retirement. digital man Synchronet "Real Fact" #73: Vertrauen went online (as a WWIV BBS running on a 10MHz PC-XT clone) in 1988.
