My modem connection is slow
The computer's modem uses K56flex TM technology/V.90. Many factors influence modem connection speed, including
telephone line noise or compatibility with telephone equipment (such as fax machines or other modems). If you think
your modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or your Internet Service Provider,
check the following:
 Have your phone company check that your phone line is free from any line noise.
 If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax machine you are calling and that
it is compatible with fax modems.
 If you are having a problem connecting with your Internet Service Provider, check that the ISP is not
experiencing technical problems.
 If you have a second phone line available, try connecting the modem to this line.
