What modems are you using? I have had quite good experiences with US Robotics modems in Australia.
Are you talking about all models, or specific model(s)?
>Wow. I thought this may have been only an Australian thing given the
support for USR material in the U.S. but...
>
>Whenever we have anybody dial in with a modem connectivity problem the
FIRST question we ask is "Is your modem either a USR or a KTX ?". 90% of
the time that is the source of the problem. We have even become attuned to
the sounds of US Robotics modems trying to connect with our analog modems
they are so bad.
>
>We regularly encourage new users to exchange their USR's for cheap
taiwanese clones because of the dollar savings and the better performance!
