Brand and model of modem
Philips Easyconnect k56 external SpeakerPhone Fax Modem.Windows 95 PNP id's the modem as both a Philips and a Shark Multimedia - I think it uses Shark's internals or firmware. ISP is jps.net (California) using Ascend terminal servers. Windows 95
Initial connect speed
Almost always 44000 (95%), otherwise 42000 and 48000
My port speed is 115200
Note:
A big difference for me was ensuring that the modem was the only device on the phone line. Just one phone on the circuit was enough to cause connections to fall to 28.8 or 26.4, and when calling 33.6 modems, most negotiated a 33.6 connection when no phones loaded down my phone line. To accomplish this automatically, all the phones on the line are on the "Phone" side of my modem.
