Actually I have yet to see a v.34(+) modem that wouldn't train back up. USR Sportsters, Supras, Cardinals.. under $70 28.8/33.6 no-name modems.. I have witnessed all of these train down and then back up when line conditions improved again a minute later.. no special settings; just the correct Windows95 "driver" (some even using "standard modem") You may want to check your modem manual and look for the settings that pertain to retraining. -T -- TerraNovaNet Internet Services - Key Largo, FL Voice: (305)453-4011 Fax: (305)451-5991 http://www.terranova.net/ ---------------------------------------------- Duct tape is like the force.
