Some modems are flash updatable, esp the 28.8 and 33.6 models. First check the ROM date and get other info on that modem by going to (in Win95-ME, anyway) the My Computer\Control Panel\Modem and do the get info routine. The S-register readouts will help in determining if you have the latest dated update. BTW: the get info should tell the modem's/main chip true name. This can be important. Print/write the info and go on a driver/update safari. Usually Google can handle this with the name of your modem alone or with "driver" attached. Specifically I would check the manufacturer's site or a driver site like modemdrivers.com (etc) for the flash file. Download it and follow the info from the site or in the file on how to the update. It can usually be run in Windoze but a reboot is common. You can also open the modem case and look for the flash chip. It's a near bonified hint you can update the ROM code. Thusly, Gwasshoppa, shall you be able to up that baud rate for a big mantis smile. 
NOTE: that 56k result you have is likely from the max speed the computer talks to the modem alone (without the phone line being involved). Unplug the phone line and test the modem again. You will still get a com response. And then there's the posibility of lousy phone lines.....
What's the "sucky" PC's problem? No modem? No Windoze connection savy? No Windoze? Some one here can fix you up, somehow. 
And remember, no one at this site has a sucky PC unless it's quite literally toast and propping open a door.  |
