I have Windows XP Professional. I, unfortunately, am currently connecting
with dialup (after 5 years of high-speed via cable, I moved to the country,
working on satellite broadband). Anyway, I have noticed an odd
peculiarity--I can get online with an old Aztech modem, but cannot get
online when using a newer US Robotics or Sterling V.92 modem.
This is most strange, as the Aztech is an old modem I pulled from a Dell 433
MHz machine, the other modems are much newer. The Sterling will not go
online at all no matter what, even though I installed it exactly as it said
(that is, install the software BEFORE putting the modem in physically). The
US Robotics is touch & go; tonight, it totally wouldn't work. (I don't have
its CD, I let Windows XP install it however.)
This is very peculiar, as the 2 modems that won't work are newer than the
one that WILL work just fine (which I also let Windows XP install as is, no
CD). I just don't get it.
What type of tests can I do to the 2 modems to see if they have problems?
What settings should I look for? Mainly, I just have to know how an old
Aztech pulled from a 433MHz (!) Dell would work fine, when newer ones--one a
US Robotics 56k, the other V.92 no less--will work hardly any at all.
Tips?
