Hi, I'm trying to set up a little modem pool with which I would like to get 56k speeds. I have a couple of USR/3com Courier V.Everything modems that are capable of 56k connectivity. However, when asked how to reverse the builtin asymmetry in the modem (outgoing 33k, incoming 56k) the 3com tech support guy said that I had to go to ISDN modems with funny digital lines and the whole deal. Does someone know what's going on here (or know of a pointer to that kind of information)? I just don't understand what the issues are, and I'm going to need to understand these to buy new modems, phone lines, etc. If I need to get new modems, does anyone have recommendations about ISDN modems? Any gotchas doing this stuff with FreeBSD? Thanks, Soren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
