I have a windoze98 dial up user; somehow, he only connects at 4,800; the modem object in cotrol panel is set to port:115k, so is on DUN object; I removed the modem definition, and, it got recreated on reboot; port is on 115k again, but, it still only connects at 4,800 where else to look ?

If I was nasty, I'd say the place to look is a Windows Listserve, not an OS/2 one ... but this simply sounds like a problem with the modem's initialisation strings. What does Windows spot the modem as ? Generic ?? Is there specific Windows 98 drivers supplied with the modem, if so install these. (the "driver" is really simply an INI file with the correct AT modem initialisation strings in it). I presume the modem is one designed for and approved for the Australian telephone system ?? Do other modems work at full speed on the phone line where this is installed ? If the owner is in an appartment block, Telstra have pulled a fast one sometimes - They run one fibre line into the building and then frequency split it to all the separate flats. This could also limit bandwidth. They only have to supply 2400 Baud according to regulations. Cheers/2 Ed.

Voytek, A modem is much like a computer. It has a memory and settings that can be set. Some windows install programs or ISP setups overwrite the default saved modem settings. It sounds like the problem is that the default saved settings within the modem are now different from the factory default. AT&F will reset to factory default and AT&FW will write the settings to memory area W1, I think. After that _generally_ most modems will work with just ATZ. Note, do not mix upper and lower case. use one or the other, a mix of case will not work.! Other than that I would suggest reading the modem manual. To late for me tonight to think any further. Good Night.
