at the prices of modems these days, buying a new one is a lot easier than trying to figure out why. if neither the vendor nor the OEM support it, you are best off getting a new modem with support.
Herb...
Where do I find a download (update) for my HSP56 Modem? I'm getting very low connection speeds (highest is 24,000 bps) and I suspect that I need to update the driver. My phone line supports 56k, and I made the changes Juno suggested, including adding the 'Extra Setting', N0S37=13.
I have a Pentium 2 (Compaq), Windows 9x.
I've been to PCTel.com, who no longer supports it, who then directed me to Conexant.com, and they don't support it. The link I believe that I need at modemhelp.org/inits/ isn't working.
There's a windows9.x link at http://go.to/pctel under HSP Mico Modem column. Is this what is required?
I'm reaching a lot of dead ends, please help if you can.
Sincerely,
Thea
