I was going through files on the primary partition on the main HDD preparing to install 2K when I got to the "Hayes" folder. It was something I had downloaded before I got the latest driver from the Hayes website, and I saw a thing called "WALLY.EXE" that had an icon of Wally from Dilbert. I clicked it and it opened a flash program for the modem.
I picked V.90 and told it to flash, and a minute or two later it was done. This is the Hayes Accura external modem my dad got for $5 at flea market a few weeks ago BTW.
Anyway, now it's V.90, max speed shows up as 115K in diagnostics now instead of 56K, and I'm hoping that I can jack the port speed up past 115K which is as high as the modem would work correctly at before.
Everything is faster, and I ran www.bandwidthspeedtest.com/speedtest and while connected at 42K, it has 37K throughput. Now if only this phoneline was as good as the old house (50K with a winmodem)....
That was nice surprise!
