Anyone had any problems with Motorola SM56 modems? I ran into one person a while back that had a hell of a lot of problems with one, which went away when he got a Sportster... apparently Motorola didn't have any newer drivers (and yes it's a Winmodem). But in the last 4 days -- 3 of which we've been running 2.0.51 code on a mix of hardware revs 49, 53, and 54 -- we've had a sharp increase in the number of people having disconnects with these things. One of them was in a brand new Gateway computer, so I fear that they may have switched modem vendors yet again, and with Christmas having just come, that might be the source of lots of them. (ugh) So at this point I can't tell if it's that or if it's the 2.0.51 code causing the problem. I would rather be running 2.0.51 because I've got five DSP's on order and they're likely to be a newer hardware rev, and I'd rather run the same code across the board...

I have a user (also with a brand new Gateway) having similiar problems with this modem. They connect at no better than 21K. We're running 2.0.19 & 4.1.59-6. Mike Andrews wrote:
