thanks man but how do i know if it software or hardware? i use Genius GM56PCI-SM speakerphone modemand also they should be hardware ones, not the software modems...they suck.......big TIME!.....
That 's depend on your line phone.In fact I never seen anyone connect with 56K and got 56K conncetion.My maximum is 54.4K.Originally posted by Keiichi
but what's the beef with software/HSP modems anyway?i have one right now, and i think i get decent speeds outta it, i.e on a 56k connection, it says i connect at 52k.
look for a 56k v92 modem. if your server supports v92 compression then you will get the best transfer rate with it.Originally posted by FireGL
i'm a confusew/c modem is faster external 56k v90 or internal pci 56k v90 modem pls help me
give me the good and bad sside of each other thanks
The only flaw with HSP modems is just that... it's software... which means it takes up your CPU cycle.... also, Linux don't usually like these too much.Originally posted by Keiichi

I've seen some reports saying that sometimes, with a not powerful cpu, if you're connected and using a cpu intense application at the same time, you may get disconnected.Originally posted by kairi00

Software/HSP modems use some of the MMX instructions the main cpu in order to do the same tasks hat the DSP/controller chips used to do on the modem. As they are not required it makes software modems a lot cheeper. However depending on your CPU it can tie up to 30% of your processing time. This means that whenever you connect to the net all general tasks are slower in the long run. This is particuarly bad if you are playing games on-line as these usually have a noticable hit in performance.Originally posted by Keiichi
