How can I increase the connection speed of my Lucent LT Winmodem ?
The Lucent LT Winmodems are software based modems based on a Lucent LT modem chipset. Although their connection quality is not as robust as that of hardware based modems, they are among the best software based modems. This site includes excellent information on these modems:

One big advantage of the Lucent LT modems is that the driver is compatible with modems using the same chipset irregardless of who manufactured the modem. If you have an old (prior to 5.66 ; 6.00 is the current one as of June-2001) version of the software you should consider upgrading it to improve your connection. Upgrades can be downloaded from:

To determine the version of your modem driver check on ControlPanel, Modems, Diagnostics, More Info and look for the ATI3 results. You can also get some suggestions for improvement indicating your symptoms and modem type at:

There are many PRW customers using Lucent LT modems with great results. We find that they provide the best connection quality among low cost software based modems.
