JS>Hey ALL -
JS>My local GTE phone service had a no installation fee special on a second
JS>phone line to my house.. jumped on it!  It's nice not having the main
JS>line tied up but I noticed a problem with how fast my supra connects...
JS>It used to be that with the W95 dial up networking connection I would
JS>ALWAYS connect at 28800...so much so that I never worried about it
JS>anymore.  I noticed the other week that with the second line my connects
JS>are ALWAYS at a lower 24000.  Even with my local BBSs I only connect at
JS>26400...switching back to the original line I get marginally better
JS>service with an occasional 28800 connect...
JS>I downloaded the new 336 flasher and installed it in my 288i and the
JS>same problem persists.  My question is, where do I look for a solution
JS>to faster connection rates?  Any and all help WILL be appreciated...
Hi John...
Could be that the line quality of the second line is not as good as the
quality of the other line. I would especially think so since  the
installation was free.   You might want to play around with init
strings/init string variables and see what you can come up with.
