I have a PCI 56K V90 compatible modem (unbranded I think) with Rockwell chipset. It uses driver 'Rockwell HCD 56K PCI' or something similar. I am in the UK and have two ISP's (Freeserve & SAQnet) with both performance is comparable to my old ISA 56K (standard windows driver) but I can only connect at speeds around 42,000 (currently 42,667) any idea why? the exact speed varies but is always around this speed. Im sure the modem is working properly, and I have obtained the latest driver. Does this mean my ISP does not support V90.? and if so, why will it not connect at 56,700 using Kflex which is also supported my the card BIOS? (as my other modem did with both ISP's)
also, in settings, the cards maximum speed is set at 115,000)
Thanks
Actually, 42K isn't bad. I suspect many people don't get that because of their line speed.
If your problem was not having V.90 support, you would be stuck at 36k, not 42. The fact that you get the same speeds at both providers also suggests your phone line signal quality is limiting your speed.
There have been other people posting on the internet with these Rockwell chip sets making complaints similar to yours. Your modem may not be quite as good at pulling the signal out of the noise on the phone line as some other modems too.
yea! and merry xmas to you also!
