Can’t Connect at 56K Rates:

Note: Current FCC regulations limit your maximum connection rate to 53Kbits per sec.

lThe number you are calling may not support V.90 or K56flex protocols. Some ISP’s ( Internet Service Providers) have special numbers that you must call to connect at 56K rates. Contact your service provider and ask if the number you are calling supports V.90 or K56flex connections to their service.

lIn Windows 95/98/NT, check the maximum speed setting in the Modem Properties window. Go to Start-Settings-Control Panel and double-click the Modems icon. Highlight your modem by clicking once on the icon next to the modem and then click the Properties button. Select the General tab and look at the setting in the Maximum speed box. Make sure this is set to 115200.

lYou may have too many telephone devices connected to the phone line. To help your modem achieve the best connection possible, remove all extra devices connected to the telephone line when the modem is in use. This includes extension phones, answering machines, and especially cordless phone recharger bases.

“Open COM Port” Error Message in W indows 95/98/NT:

lYou may have Dial-Up Networking connections configured for an old modem on the same COM Port. Reconfigure these to point to the PCI Modem. See the next section for instructions.

lIf the Dial-Up Networking connections have all been reconfigured and the error persists, some other program running in the background is accessing the modem. Close any applications that are open on the Taskbar or that have icons visible in the sys-tray, including fax software, dialers, and Internet browsers. Any program that can address a COM Port or uses a modem can cause this error.
