I got an old NewCom 56kefxC Atlas Peripherals external modem. It is
sooooooooo slow under Mandrake and Caldera. I had to use a 25 pin to 9 pin
adapter cable. could this be why. How can this be overcome? A 56k modem is a
56k modem isn't it? Can anyone suggest a solution or help? Thanks.

Atlas periphals or newcom were the modems that were marketed by and for best
buy. All the ones I ever saw were pre .v90, thier bios could be flashed,
however I noticed almost no improvement in my internal one. So I bought a
3com USR external modem.

hey... 'the one' you were right.....they could be flashed.....but that
wasn't what was bogging it....it needed another init string.....the one I
was using possibly was for x2 or the likes...they are a good modem and its
now as fast as my internal windoze hsp modem.....thanks..
