Modem connecting slower than normal

[Guest_imported]

I recently got a new modem installed on my computer with XP because my old one was broken. With this new one, it connects low at 31.2 or 28.8 kbps when my old one would connect at 49.2. This new modem says it is a 56 kbps modem, but then why does it connect at such a slow speed? Could it be that there is a driver that is needed to downloaded or is my problem something else? Thanks in advance.

I can't find a driver listed for Windows XP for your modem.
It's a CNet SinglePoint modem with a Conexant chipset? Is it USB or PCI? Did the driver you loaded, that came with it,list XP as being compatable? Probably the latest XP driver for any Conexant chipset would work. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."

I found this page (there may be more). Follow the instructions on finding your chipset, then scroll down to the XP drivers. This might work. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."
