For those who are stuck with a motorola SM56 modem, motorola has discontinued the modem business and modems are produced no more. So i suggest Windows XP users to go to the page
and download Win2000 drivers and install it after a clean install of Win XP on your machine. It may not work if you had UPGRADED from older versions of Windows.
If it works, do drop a word to me at chandru@swissinfo.org.
Good luck!!

Unfortunately, you can try everything with a SM56 without great success.
In a conclusion:
1) If you are with XP, take the Win 2000 version, it's the better.
2) You can look for an Motorola V.34 init string. I work for an ISP and some people can stay two or three times longer on Internet before they'll lost the connection. (But you must accept the sacrifice to lost 1 or 2 kB/sec.)
3) You can try to "ping" continuously but lightly a fixed server because the SM56.
4) If you have a long phone cable, you can isolate it or reduce it to less than 3 meters.
The best solution, it's to buy an other BRANDED modem, like a 3Com, or to buy an old but very stable 33,600 bps modem.

Hi. I have Motorola SM56 PCI Modem. I have Windows XP and I have drivers. They are not digitally signed but it works. My question is this:
Has anyone tried to fax using this modem? Sometimes it works and sometimes it does. When it does not work, it shows SENDING PAGE ONE, then it disconects and says FAX FAILED. But when I send the same fax to the same place using a different computer, it goes through well. I was told that the modem may not be compatible with the recepient's fax. Is that true? If it is, is it possible to fix it?
Thanks.

I gave up and went out and bought a new XP compatible modem.
I think Motorola should be blacklisted as should any major manufacturer who fails to support the products they've sold in the recent past(i.e.5-6 years.) Discontinuing a product line, as Motorola did, is no excuse to leave your customers "swimming" without help!
