My modem connection is slow
The computer’s modem is a 33.6 kbps modem/14.4 kbps FAX modem
with K56flex™ technology. 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, tiy connecting the modem
to this line.
