Hi All, I am Karthik. I joined this group yesterday after browsing a mail from Bobby Rajan. I am having a P4 mac with XP Prof OS. I use a DLink modem DFM 560ES. The connect speed is very slow. When I download any file from the net thru Download Accelarator (DAP), I get a speed indication of max 2.5 kbps. That too I got after adding +MS=V34 init string. Prior to that I used to get around 1 kbps. I use a BSNL CLI based account for connectivity. Sometime back my phone line was having noise problem. Now atleast I dont hear the noises anymore.. Dont know if noise is still present in small traces.. I took the modem reply for the AT&v1 command. I have appended it below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TERMINATION REASON.......... NONE LAST TX rate................ N/A HIGHEST TX rate............. 300 BPS LAST RX rate................ N/A HIGHEST RX rate............. 300 BPS PROTOCOL.................... N/A COMPRESSION.................
