I'm running Windows98 and have an MDP7800-U modem which I believe is put out by Lucent. I've been searching all over the net and can't find an init string for this puppy. Until I network with my other PC and its cable modem, I'd really like to speed up this connection. Can anyone out there help?

My recommendation, you tweak your windows setting.and if your modem is Analog type just put AT&F.

Try this: AT Commands - Init strings

with my MDP7800-U Modem I use s38=10-v90=20 That will force it to try to connect about the max. you can change the v90= to a lower number if you can't connect at Connection established at 52000bps I believe using AT&F will make it so all settings made in windows will not be used so I would stay away from AT&F unless you want to do everything by an AT Command. check your modem log you might look for this file C:\WINDOWS\ATCOMSET.DOC or a shortcut in the program folder - MDP7800-U folder. for AT commands also here are some tips for windows settings. don't forget to edit your win.ini under ports more here Dial-up Modem Help TheGorx Windows Help
