I've had 3 different 56k modems here at my home, Acer internal, Zoom
External, and Motorola External. All have at least V1.12 release of the
Rockwell firmware. All connected everytime at 46k plus however after some
period of connect time (mostly idle time) all of them re-negotiate the
speed down to 24k. I just wrote it off initially as a modem/firmware issue
but after 3 different brands I have to wonder.. Our PM3 is running 3.7.2
COMOS.
The client end still reports the 46k+ speeds but the PM3 reports 24k.
The interesting thing is the 56K indicator on the latest (Zoom) also goes
off so it would appear
the v.8 connection is truly ending and dropping back to V.34 (the V.34
light comes on with the Zoom).
Anyone else seeing this phenomenon? Anything can be done to prevent the
fallback?
