Ok I have asked this before to no avail but I'm gunna try again now. I have a a nearly new P.C. very powerful and I love it to bits. But the problem is the modem. I have a 56k V90 PCI internal modem. It is very annoying piece of eqiupment as games (and web surfing) ability is very poor compared to it's potential (of the computer). I usually have lags of about 400 at best on wireplay. I am a faily decent player at games (especially Half-Life) but playing against the better players is very difficult due to the lag. Most over ppl have 300 or less lags so as you can see I struggle . I have done so many things. I have downloaded drivers even though I can't find out who it is made by (modem info revels PcTEL, ATI, Drivers at tiny (where I got the P.C.) say Etech)and there are currently no further updates. I have added init strings to the modem which "proclaimed" that speed had increased when actually is was no different. I have unplugged phone lines changed software compression, I have fiddeled with all the things in modem Properties but still no speed increase. PLZ I'm am begging for help. Any additional information you need I will provide. I will monitor this thread and hope for lots of help. I thank anyone who does respond in advance. The only avenue open to me at the moment is to ring BT and tell them to up my Gain and turn DACS off which I will try but I get the feeling ut will not work. Thx for any help.
