umm, I dont have any pci cards in the pci slots at all - that erroring PCI card doesnt exist as far as im concerned but the pc wants it installed all the time as if its detecting it.
Also, some1 please explain the buses to me & why 2 of them have "?" on them.

That would imply it does keep coming back... And Kornflakes your a bad lyer, you must have something in the PCI slots, how do you connect to the internet?! VIA YOUR MOUSE PORT?!
As for the ? signs I believe that windows not sure if the driver its using is correct maybe? Get the latest drivers.

externals "tend" to run faster, the reasons may be them working under their own steam, but in my limited experience with modems, your connection is 100% dependant on your phone lines quietness..
now this seems to be a localized phenomenon, but in arkansas, you can request phone line conditioning... no one i have talked to outside arkansas seems able to acquire this vital service.. it in essence quiets the external buzz that is present in all phone lines..
you wanna test it in a rudimentary way, pick up the receiver and dial a single number... listen to the buzz in the phones receiver, more noise, less connection speed..
i managed to connect at 5.3 for over a year, when most fail to achieve 4.6, many at the 3.2 range..
i would suggest getting a service person to check the noise level in your lines.. and insist the address the issue..
BTW all my modems have been internal, and 5.3 is the maximum legal attainable limit one can expect in arkansas with this service..
5.3 on a 5.6 modem is considered optimal..

| No... a 56k modem transfers data at about 56000 b/s (more like 57600). This means it transfers that many bits per second. However, normal DL speed is measured in kB/s, or bytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, so a little simple mathematics reveal that the MAXIMUM possible you can DL at is about 7 kB/s (its not exact.... this is because one "k" is comprised of 1024, not an even 1000). Thats the idealogical best that you should be able to achieve on a 56k modem. It never happens due to things like packet loss, distance issues, and overall phone-line quality. |
/me compares my responce to yours....
which do you think tom will understand more 
your answer is no doubt the correct one, but sometimes, discretion is better
