Upgrading to x2™ TechnologyBe sure to read the section titled “U.S.
Robotics Modem Update Wizard” on page 53
for information on upgrading your 33.6
faxmodem to x2™ technology, allowing
downloads of up to 56 kbps*.
• IMPORTANT! All x2 products are capable of 56 kbps
downloads; however, due to FCC rules which restrict power
output of the service providers' modems, current download
speeds are limited to 53 kbps. Actual speeds may vary
depending on line conditions. Uploads from end users to service
providers travel at speeds up to 28.8 kbps. An x2 modem, an
analog phone line compatible with x2 technology, and an
Internet Service Provider with x2 service are necessary for these
high-speed downloads. See http://www.3com.com/x2 for details.
