Kris Steenhaut made noise to Bas Heijermans:

Hi Kris,

 KS>> time. Don't know why, but that's what it is.

 BH> First of all, the Qcom drivers are not stable, I have tried them here
 BH> for several day's non-stop, after a few day's they lose connection
 BH> with the FIFO and you need to reboot to get it working again.

 KS> The are stable here though. Never lose anything here.
 KS> Actually, the reason why I tried the Quatech was just
 KS> because I loosed connection with my occasionally. 

Loosing connections has nothing to do with the driver, it's modem related.

 BH>  The diverance with connect speeds has to do with your 
 BH> ISP-modem, your-modem and the Telco(mpany). SIO, QCOM or any 
 BH> other driver have no say in this, my experiance here in Belgium 
 BH> is that you have to force your modem to 44000 or lower to have 
 BH> stable connections.

 KS> You are entitled to your experiences. With the Sio I had
 KS> stable connections at 453000, with the Quatech at 48000 or
 KS> 49000. That's with an 3Com 56k faxmodem. 

The connect speed is made by your modem and has nothing to do with whatever
driver you use.

 KS> With ISDN, it doesn't make any difference at all,
 KS> apparently. 

ISDN is allways 64000 with and ISDN-card:-)

Warp3SMP,

Bas Heijermans.
