Timeouts
This
little tweak will reduce the amount of Timeouts you
may experience.
- Open
Regedit, go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net\000x].
- In
the right hand pane, right click on Slownet
& select modify, change the value to 00.
Higher
DTE rate
Another
speed enhancement is setting a higher DTE rate for your
modem. To do so, follow these steps. NOTE – Your modem may
not support Port speeds higher than 115200 so if it doesn’t
work don’t worry about it.
- Open
up the following registry key. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\000x\].
Replacing x with the number that is there.
- Right
click on the entry entitled Properties, as shown
in the picture below, & select Modify.
- In
the fourth line, beginning with 0018, modify the values
I have highlighted to the values shown.
- This
will allow you to select a Maximum speed of 230400
from the modem control panel.
Select
a lower speed if you encounter any problems.
