NT RAS Connections

There are several things that can affect your connection speed. From your question, I am assuming you are running a win NT 4.0 server.

1. in the control panel, select ports, and open each com port which is used by your rocketmodem. Click on the settings button. Then set the baud rate to match what the modem will use, or set it to the highest setting available.
2. Make certain that your modem will handle the faster speed. Check the manufactures settings for the modem. There may be some configuration, switch, or setting which you will need to adjust. Check your manuals for the modems.
3. Check out your phone line. Some phone lines are 'dirty'. This means they have a lot of static, or the connection is not a good one. The best thing is to run a new phone wire(s) from your modem location to the point where the phone line(s) enters your building. There should not be any (or very few) connections. It is best to have one single wire(s)
4. Check with your phone company. Some phone companies will not support the faster speeds. Make certain that they will support the 56k speed.

NOTE: The fastest speed possible will not be any better than 53k. This is the absolute fastest speed over a phone line.

Best of luck.
