This test will supposedly test your line for 56.6 compatiability and
you don't even need a 56.6, just v.34
I just ran it and it said my line is okay.
The instructions should be:
1-888-877-9248

Line Test
They said drop comments to em, so maybe you should ask them to
also print out the baud rate in addition to the compatiability.

U.S. Robotics- x2 Capability Line Test
---------------------------------------
Introducing x2™ LineTest
LineTest is the easy way to confirm that your phone lines support U.S. Robotics' exciting new x2 Technology for high-speed Internet downloads.
Our tests have shown that the vast majority of phone lines in North America support x2. If you're concerned about your ability to make high-speed connections, follow the simple instructions below.
ATTENTION!
Due to the overwhelming response to the availability of our Line Test, we are in the process of adding additional phone lines. You may currently experience a busy signal or message stating that your call did not go through. This is a temporary situation, and we are working to remedy it as quickly as possible.
You may also dial our BBS at (847) 982-5092 and follow the directions below to perform the Line Test.
Thank you for your patience.
What You Need
LineTest has only two requirements: Any manufacturer's V.34 modem, installed and connected to a phone line Any terminal application (such as Win95's HyperTerminal, RapidComm™, QuickLink II or MacComCenter) Dialing Into LineTest
First, open a "terminal window" in your communications software. For detailed instructions, consult your software's documentation.
Dial this number:
1-888-877-9248 Most communications programs offer the ability to dial from a "phone book." Alternately, you may send the following command to your modem:
ATDT1-888-877-9248 You'll be connected to the LineTest system, and asked if your system supports graphics. Press the 'Enter' key to proceed.
You'll then be prompted for your name. Type in: Line Test The LineTest system will perform a series of diagnostics on your connection, and will inform you of its conclusion.
This Connection Supports x2!
Congratulations - you're in good company. Get ready to step up to high-speed downloads from the Internet!

If x2 Isn't SupportedĀ
Since line conditions can change from call to call, we recommend that you make several calls to LineTest to ensure an accurate diagnosis. If you have multiple phone lines available for use, we recommend that you try calling from each line.
If multiple calls indicate that your line won't support x2, keep in mind that telephone network configurations can change, so your chances of making high-speed connections may improve over time.
Important Note
We've taken great care to ensure that LineTest reports accurate results. However, due to the complexity of the diagnostics LineTest performs, we can't guarantee 100% accuracy. We'll improve and enhance LineTest as your feedback rolls in. |
