ATI ETC2400 modem will not give you 9600B transfer speed.At the most,if you are receiving/sending ASCII files,it will approach about 4800B. What you are probably confusing is the fact that you connect at 9600B. The modem is not transfering data at 9600B though. > > If not, my modem will negociate the correct protocol and speed. > It works out pretty well and I'm quiet gappy with it, the problem is > in downloading/uploading files.

Your modem connects at 9600B and then drops down to 2400B since it's obviously not a 9600B modem.If the line noise is high it might drop down to 1200B or if you are talking to another 1200B modem.The maximum I get with ATI ETC2400 when in MNP mode is about 2800B when receiving compressed files.
