N2002 modem help?

I am on a poor quality phone line with a US Robotics 56K FAX EXT PnP (there is no cable or DSL available here). People have told me to disable error correction, and I've done that in the modem/connection/advanced section of Windows. When I look at the modem log file (in that same window), it says error correction is enabled. If I turn error correction off with "&M0" then no races are listed in N2002 though I see who is logged in and the chat conversations. What "Extra settings" are others using for this type of modem? I am currently using: &N14 -forces 28.8 (but also turns off error correction and compression) &M4 -turns the error correction back on (because I can't see races without it) &K1 -turns compression back on. It appears from the log that I can't have error control off and compression on. Thanks for any help, Russell

The only thing I used when I was on dialup with a USR modem was S32=98. That would disable V90 connections which I found were not good for online gameplay. I would typically connect at 33,200 with those settings as opposed to 50,666 without. Give it a try and see what you think. I had very few problems racing when I was on dialup although I would never want to go back. ;-) "R Keating" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ad0vo3$c58$[email hidden]... > I am on a poor quality phone line with a US Robotics 56K FAX EXT PnP(there > is no cable or DSL available here).

Same here S32=98 works great for me too! -- http://www.onlineautoracing.com

Well, that's 2 for this setting. I'll give it a try, but considering on a good day with all the stars and planets aligned, I can maybe get 31.2, so I doubt I am even getting into the land of V90 for it to be an issues. I'll try though. Thanks, Russell "GMajorJr" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Same here S32=98 works great for me too! > > -- > http://www.onlineautoracing.com > >

You might try a "clean" line directly from the d-mark to the modem and see if you get an improvement.
