Problem: Your 56K modem cannot achieve a 56K Internet connection.

__________________________________________________________

Possible solution:Possible solution:

Possible solution:

V.90 supports speeds of up to 56K. Due to phone line restrictions, actual speeds will vary; this does not mean you have not achieved a V.90 connection. Our research shows that the vast majority of telephone lines in North America support V.90 connections. However, due to unusual or old telephone line configurations, some users will not be able to take full advantage of this technology. If this is the case, your 3Com modem will use its backward compatibility to negotiate a speed compatible with your phone line, such as V.34.

It is important to remember that your line conditions may change, so you may be able to make faster connections in the future. To make sure that you can use V.90 or 3Com 56K technology, perform the following tests:

1. First, make sure your modem supports V.90. Y ou can verify that your modem supports V.90 by opening a terminal application (RapidComm

), typing ati7, and pressing ENTER. If the Options line has V.90 listed, then your modem supports V.90 and 3Com 56K technology.

2. Make sure that the number you’re dialing is an actual V .90 or 3Com 56K technology server. Some ISPs may have a mixture of V.90 and non-V.90 servers. You can check this by contacting your ISP and asking them about 56K technology or V.90 availability.

3. If it is a V .90 or 3Com 56K server , you may want to try calling it a few more times. Remember, the phone company routes each call differently. For testing purposes, you may want to call into the 3Com BBS at 847 262 6000, which has V.90 servers attached to it.

4. If you are able to connect at V .90 speeds on the 3Com BBS, there may be something between you and your ISP that is preventing a V.90 connection from being negotiated. Contact your ISP and see if they have received similar reports from other customers.

5. If you do not make a V.90 connection to our BBS, your phone line might not be capable of supporting V.90 or 3Com 56K technology speeds. If you are experiencing consistent problems with V.90 connections (i.e., not making a high speed connection, abrupt disconnections, etc.), you can call 3Com Technical Support for U.S. Robotics modems at 847 262 5151.

Problem: Your communications software fails to initialize the modem.

Possible solution:Possible solution:

Possible solution:

Your software’s port settings may be incorrect. Make sure the software’s port settings match those for your modem.

If you have an older version of RapidComm software on your system, you must uninstall it before installing the most recent version (contained on the

Connections

CD-ROM that comes with your new modem). Otherwise, system conflicts may hamper the RapidComm software’s ability to work properly.

Possible solution:Possible solution:

Possible solution:

If you have a Winmodem modem, check with the software’s manufacturer to determine whether or not the software is fully Windows-based. Some software runs in Windows but has DOS components. Such software will not work with a Winmodem modem.

Problem: Plug and Play does not detect your modem. You’ve installed the modem and Windows has restarted, but you see only your normal desktop. You do not see any screens indicating new hardware has been detected.
