USRobotics (now owned by 3Com) had this specific trouble (and probably some other brands that were simply copying their design) and can be fixed by upgrading the MODEMs firmware. This is easy if the MODEM uses flash ROM. Just download their upgrade wizard. If it uses real ROMs (you know, really read-only!), then you'd have to buy new ROMs from their service department (I wouldn't, I'd just buy a new USR V90). > >> Hi All >> >> The Link to my isp runns slow after 3 days and the only fix is hang up the modem >> and dial back in. >> >> (33600 modem - 2.2.7-RELEASE dialed into a 33600 modem connected to a 2e30 >> Port Master) Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
