Hi,
I have been a member for a while and decided to post. I have a Netcomm
Mega-I-Modem56K connected to the serial port of a HP 2.8G machine
running XP-Pro. When ever I connect to the Net, XP reports that the
connect is at 115.2K which is the com port speed to the modem, not the
modem connect speed to the ISP. Netcomm support says that Windows
should report the modem connect speed and you don't need to set
extended response strings (ATW2 etc even though I have tried it). Any
one have any ideas. Being in a rural environment where broadband will
never appear and line quality goes up and down with the weather it
would be nice to know what I'm connected at so I can decide whether to
stay on line or try again later....
