My US Robotics Sportster modem isn performing consistantly. Is there anything that I can do to make my connection more stable?
Almost all Hayes-compatible modems have built in ‘AT’ commands that will allow a user to “cap”, or limit their modem’s connection speeds. Limiting the connect speeds to something like 50,000 bps can perhaps prevent your modem from making frequent attempts to negotiate speeds that are not stable under the current conditions of a given call. Even though this appears to limit your modem’s performance, you may actually see an increase in performance as your modem will spend less time negotiating different connect speeds.
