I just purchased a new PCI modem card for my old PC, but its performance is not pretty good. Do I miss any important setting?
Normally, most of our PCI controller-less modem cards needs to run with Pentium 133 or higher. (Like Lucent or Conexant HCF’s chipset) Some pure software based modem card need to run with Pentium 166MMX or higher. (Like PCTel or new Conexant HSF’s chipset) It is up to your modem chipset types, then they will have different minimum system requirement. You could find out the modem’s minimum CPU requirement in the packing box or driver CD. back to top • I have purchased an internal/external modem from other country. It could work perfectly in other country but my country. What can I do? Basically, different countries will have different hardware layout, even they are the same modem model. That is because they will have different telecom feature. For example, you cannot use USA modem in Germany. You could ask your reseller to exchange a new modem especially for local telecom feature. If they cannot provide that kind of service, you should use ‘ATX1’ to ignore the busy tone & dial tone. bac
