Port - "Roger Fink" wrote in messagenews:FrQ5b.1256$qJ6.1006232@monger.newsread.com... I have a new USR PCI hardware modem (2976 OEM) with the latest USR installation files installed in a new computer running Windows 98 SE. I'm not all that familiar with the workings of modems so the terminology inwhat follows may be a little off. When connected to the local ISP, I'm going to guess and say that in approximately 1 out of 8 or 9 URL clicks the modem does not initially connect up with the ISP's modem. There then follows a period of abouttwenty or thirty seconds where the link-up is reestablished and the new page will either come up or it gets timed out.Your ISP routes you to the URLs, your modem simply establishes a connectionbetween you and your ISP and, hopefully, maintains that connection.The modem remains connected throughout, the problem you describe is one oftwo things:1. The modem is re-training due to problems it perceives on the line.2. Your ISP is having difficulty reaching the requested site...To better analyze the problem, you will want to collect some post-calldata. This is done after disconnecting from a session online. And it is donethrough a terminal program, such as Hyperterminal. 1 in 9 is a lot better than the Agere and Connexant software modems that I tried before the USR, but it's still not very good, in my opinion. Is this par for the course or might there be settings or adjustments I could maketo improve this situation?Yes, there may be settings you can make to smooth things out but we won'tknow what they are until after you determine what and where the problemsare.The DOSBOX.inf if about using your PCI Modem, which emulates serial port 5,in a DOS window which only recognizes serial ports 1-4.--Hooda Gest"In a New York minute, everything can change..."
