IBM 56k PC Card Modem Problem

By Chandler - usenet poster

Report abuse

I'm using the 56k PC Card Modem with X2 technology for my ThinkPad 385XD but
nowhere near 56k. My ISP told me to get the latest "firmware" for my modem but
IBM's website doesn't mention anything about this. I AM using the right
settings and phone number for my ISP. It connects fine using the number for
28.8 but is dreadfully slow using the 56k/x2 line.

Any ideas?

If I'm in the wrong forum, please direct me to an appropriate one for laptop
discussions.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem.

IBM does have an upgrade for that 56K modem. It is the v90 upgrade. The file can
be found at # . I
believe this is the cellular capable modem that ships with the 385XD? (FRU
02k4249?). I have seen this work before at speeding up the transfering speeds.
Download the file, extract it to a disk, then run pfwin.
