That's nice so far, but it still takes about 45 seconds to connect to the net. Does anyone know how to speed up handshaking?
Well, my first asume is, that your modem uses the V.90 handshake-procedure. This can take up to 60 sec because of some noise/signal ratio mesurements.try to tell the modem to use only v.34 (don't know the AT... command for the apple-modem). max speed is only 34000, but on bad lines its even faster than V.90, because it does not downstep the speed as V.90 does.
