New Dell Dimension E 310 computer, 56k modem, Windows XP, Pentium(R) 4CPU 2.80 GHrz. I can not connect at speeds above 28k. Usually at 26.4k. My old computer connects on the same phone line at 49k. I've spent hours with Tech Support and Changed the modem. The modem checks ok with the McAfee test at http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/default.asp. What can I do?

I wrote a long reply but the forum trashed it.
Try adding +MS=V90,0,,,44000,52000 to the extra settings for your modem in device manager.
I think Dell got a flakey batch of Conexant D850 modems in early May.
