We have similiar problems with some modems connecting at 50.000 bps, but=20
directly went down to slower speeds. The problem is that the connection=20
timeouts (Win95 has only 60 seconds as default) before the login is=20
completed.=20
Mostly, they begin with 50K, but drops to 44K (good line) or 34K=20
(bad line). Other modems usually gives 44-48K and I=B4ve never seen any=20
reliable 50K connection here. So I wonder why the modems thinks 50K is=20
possibly and renegotiates directly after the connection?
The two modems I met with this problem is E-tech Bullet E56RVP and=20
Puretek PT-3011. Both is Rockwellbased.=20
Other modems like Zoltrix, Telix, Zoom and Intertex works well.=20
Our modemserver is a PM3E1 with EuroISDN, two 10-port 56K cards.=20
