PQA - (Art's post is reproduced below)Art thanks. I really thought that was going to work (sadly it didnot). Just discovered somebody else had earlier posted re the need tosend together _BOTH_ the "&Uxx" AND the "&Nxx" commands.Maybe I'm gonna have to run this one past USR. And since they appearall but to have disowned this 0525 modem (maybe an "NIH" problem?), itcould be tough sledding.Art Jackson wrote in message news:... Frank Walker wrote: I live in a rural area where speeds in the "30's" are about the best we can do using the V.90 protocal. My modems have a tendency to connect at speeds too high. This can be followed by a failure to verify username/password or just failure in general (e.g., dropped connection). So I have been including "&N24" in my init string to limit connect speed to 37,333. This seems to be a good compromise for my location. Have followed this procedure with my USR Sportster (external) with some success. But now am trying to use a USR/3COM Voice Faxmodem Pro (also external). This is a model 0525. Spent hours seeking to locate the command codes for this modem and ended up e-mailing USR for help (no reply yet). But as best I could determine the "&N24" should work to limit connect speed with this 0525 modem, as it does with the Sportster. But it is not working with the 0525. Regardless "&N24" in the init string the darn thing connects at 44,000. This morning it even connected above 46,000 once! The outcomes of connections at these speeds are often negative. I have checked the log and the 0525 modem is acknowledging (with an "OK") receipt of "&N24". Also there are no commands being issued subsequently. If anyone could suggest why this is not working and what to try next I would be most grateful. I need a way to limit the 0525 connect speed. BTW the 0525 modem is running under Windows ME. Installation was straightforward as ME has support built in for this modem. Aside from "&N24", my init string contains a "stay connected" segment, S7=70S10=255. This portion of the init string appears to function OK, and has generally positively impacted my ability to remain connected. Thanks Frank There were some USR models that failed to respond to the speed setting commands. Maybe USR has later firmware that fixed that, I don't know. You could try setting a range, ( &U10 &N24 ) and see if that works. If that fails also, try using only V.34 by adding S32=98 (V.90), S32=130 (V.92), in Extra Settings. If you are getting V.90 speeds in the 30's, then you may find better throughput in V.34 mode. Good luck.
