MGetty only controls the speed at which the system talks to the modem, not the speed at which your modem talks to the other modem... > Does anyone have any ideas on fixing this and/or running diagnostics on > the modems and hardware themselfs? Hmmm... If they're V.90 you do realise that your end has to be fed off a PRI or equivalent type feed? e.g. 2 x V.90 modems will only do 33k6 tops to each other unless one side is connected of a bulk/PRI/ISDN type feed... We have an X2 modem plugged into our ISDN line here, which does 56k, however another counterpart K56Flex will only do 33k6, as it's plugged into a POTS line (plain old telephone). -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
