| Subject: | Different modem performances & AA23 |
Hello,
Just reading through the latest issue of our favourite magazine 'AmigActive~
and was interested in the article about the performance of different
modems.
I recently bought a 'Twister Mk2' because I was not happy with the speeds I
was getting from my IoBlix 1200 serial card. I could not get my Amiga to
connect to the modem at 230400 baud and thought it might the the Ioblix
that was causing the problem.
I remebered some type of speed test done by AmigaFormat (RIP) and seemed to
believe that the IoBlix wasn't as fast as I had hoped.
Anyway, I am now using the Twister and am pleased to say that it is
definately quicker, but I am still not happy :-( I still can't connect to
the modem at 230400 baud using MiamiDX and now think it is my modem that is
causing the problem.
I am using a 3Com US Robotics X2 modem but I would like to know what is the
best modem to use. Although it connects at 50666 and miamiDX reports that
I can get 5.6Kb/sec when listening to a Shoutcast stream, it won't use
32kbps+ streams without breaking up every few seconds.
How can I test the modem? Take into account that I have not managed to get
NetInfo etc. to work. I would be interested in hearing what modems you
guys have tried and what the difference was.
Is there a specific chipset used in modems that work best?
Many thanks.
Regards
