I havent written in a while but havent had any real problems, anyway i installed win2k on a friends gateway. He ahs a us robotics winmodem and it works but only as a 28.8 modem. The reason im complaining and asking for help is that it is really a 56k modem. How do i tell that to windows?

Not that this information will help you, but....

I've got a USR 56K Sportster ISA - a hardware modem, and with the packaged MS drivers I only would get 28.8 connections. I went to the 3Com/USR web site and downloaded the .inf file (for Win9X) that corresponded to my modem (00568702.inf), used Device Manager to update to that .inf file and viola -> 45K connections.

So head on over to 3Com and find that .inf file. No promises, no guarantees...

Hope this helps!

I have a ****en winmodem from 3com I only can connect at 33.6 so don't feel bad I emailed 3com they said (as usual) there is no support and no drivers for win2k so either
A. get a modem that is directly supported on win2k drivers list of modems
B. wait till 3com releases some drivers

I plan on getting a 3com voice int modem (hardware no win)
