NOTE: Modem speed and reliability is dependant on many factors. The faster you attempt to operate your modem the more prone it becomes to dropouts and errors.
A major cause of modem dropouts, is sharing the modem line with other devices such as fax's or in particular telstra T200 touch phones.
The latest technology in modems, the 56K is likely to be of no real benefit to many of our users due to their phone line quality not being of a high enough standard, and or the distance between their premises and the Telstra exchange.
