I recently had Bellsouth ADSL connected at my home. Everything seemed
great until I tried running NASCAR 4 online which is really the main reason
I wanted it in the first place. The problem I am having is a stutter or
slight freeze frame effect whenever the USB EFFICIENT NETWORKS EXTERNAL
modem is active. I don't even have to be online for this to happen. Single
player race with the modem just running in the backround causes the same
effect. Bellsouth cannot offer any help but did admit to hearing the same
complaint in the past. They also yold me that there actually isnt any
software running in the backround that it most likely was just the internet
signal causing the problem. Any ideas you guys have would be much
appreciated. Thanx,
JoJo Monte

The problem is that external DSL/USB modem. It s***s. Really.
I convinced the tech to switch me to the NIC card version (Alcatel
SpeedTouch Home)
and it's running absolutely great.

I had Road Runner cable for quite some time. It was the biggest piece
of unreliable garbage I've ever experienced. Thank god DSL came into
my neighborhood. @Home cable is just as bad.

Either the Alcatel or the Westell. Dump
the Effecient Network product. I had the 3060 and it was a nightmare.

I'm having the same problem with what I'm sure is the exact same modem he
quoted which is the Efficient Networks 4060. Sprint is solving this problem
by sending me a 5260 which is the NIC modem. A friend of mine is running the
5260 and he has had no problems whatsoever so I am looking forward to good
modeming once it gets here.

Amen to that. I was told by the phone support at PacBell ASI:
1) 4060 does NOT like ANY other USB device. Their first suggestion would
be
for you to UNPLUG ALL other USB devices
2) Even after that, you'll STILL have problems, esp. with that Enternet
300
software they use. Do NOT use 1.4. Use 1.34 or 1.41. 1.4 is buggy.
3) I haven't found a way to share a USB DSL's bandwidth yet, where a NIC
version is absurdly simple.
