Lucent Technologies, also has some specific recommendations for enhancing an unstable modem connection.
Try disabling flow control for the modem.Go to My Computer, then Dial up networking. Right click on the DUN connection to Internet of Northwest Illinois, select properties. Press configure below the name of the modem. Press the connection tab, then the advanced button. Uncheck flow control.I have also found that reducing the graphics acceleration on some computers will stabilize the modem connection. This is done by right clicking on the My Computer icon, left click on properties, click on the performance tab then the graphics button and then sliding the graphics acceleration slide from full acceleration to 3/4.Try 3 commas after the phone number. Go to My Computer, then Dial up networking. Right click on the DUN connection to Internet of Northwest Illinois, select properties. Place three commas after the phone number. This will prevent your modem from hearing the Portmaster's initial K56 flex tones, which may be causing your modem to behave strangely.
56k Modem Test: I found this modem test number that is supported by the Houston Area Computer Users. It will return a graphical printout of a test of your telephone line conditions. From your hyperterminal program have your modem dial 1-713-693-0399. Chose T for text display, then H for hang up. It then gives you the test results in graphic form with other technical information regarding your telephone line. This line test will give you specific information why your line will or will not support 56k modem speeds.
