Do any of you have a V.92 modem?

It's probably useless unless your isp gives u V.92 modems to dial into.

Yes, i want one, but ISP's are being very slow to adopt the new standard. Apparently it provides faster UPLOAD speeds, but the same for downloads. I want it for the modem-on-hold feature.

Nope... 48000 is the best I've got.

I've got 49333. My record is about 50667. But that's very rare.

Some modem drivers display the serial speed as the actual connected speed.
This is obviously incorrect, you need to change the modem init string, i dont know off hand the precise thing you are supposed to put in, sorry

how do we check the actual connection speed?

why would you bother? it's a 56k modem on a phone line --- it's not going very fast :-)

Download something from a fast site, and then you've got Kbytes/second, so thats quite easy to convert to kilobits, this will give you a ROUGH estimate of your connection speed...

Or find a better modem driver, DONT use the windows standard ones, they are shite, and wont display real connection speed most of the time, find the correct one for your modem on the vendors website.

my modem is a no name modem... so i literally can't find a vendor site on it... hehe

if you feel adventurous, open up your modem and look at the top of the ic's (that's integrated circuit, the black microchips ;-)) and see if you can see a company name like rockwell or something.....that way, at least you'd know what chipset to find drivers for....also, version numbers the chipset will probably be in the same place

hmmm, what if there's nothing??? would it be worth buying a completely new modem then?

well, if the modem works, and you're downloading fine then why would you bother?
