(ASCEND) modem speed
I'm playing with my first Maxen -- 4004 -- and I'm seeing suboptimal modem
performance.
I'm comparing performance to my older USR and Motorola Codex dial-in pools --
all V.34 -- I typically get 24.0 - 31.6 connections with them. But with the
Maxen, I see 19.2 - 26.4. This with 5.0Ap5, tm.m40.
When I tried 5.0Ap13 and 5.0Ap16, I was seeing 14.4 - 21.6. Painful.
The Maxen are equipped with 12 modem V.34 cards.
I'm in test mode, so only one or two analog connections through the Max at a
time, nothing else. I'm using PPP and interactive (VT100) dial-in for testing.
I test from home, passing through my telco, and from my office, purely
in-house cabling, through in-house PBX, terminating on the Maxen. I am using a
mix of USR Courier V.Everything (V.34 and x2) and Supra V.34 modems at the
remote PC. (USR x2 gives me hideous performance against the Maxen; I dropped
them from the test mix early on.)
Does anyone else see this kind of behavior? Is there a fix, a particular
software rev which boosts modem performance?
