Hi. I've just bought a new entry level (I guess) laptop Acer Aspire 5310 c/w Vista 32 basic for my daughter's school needs. I plugged across the phone line from my netcomm Mega-I-modem 56 that supplies my old 800 desktop with everyday 48K speed, and this laptop runs at only 31.2K. Checking the modem - a HD Audio Soft Data Fax modem. I tried updating the drivers but Vista tells me it's the best.

driver is 7.64.0.50

Acer tells me it's the line, but it's not!

It gives me 48K everyday.

Is there another brand that might have a better driver and how would I install it. Or are there init strings etc that might help. At present it's really slow but 46-48K is good, and responsive.
