The drone whines:
If you dig, you will see that ISPs who support V.90 are having no trouble at all with the iMac. And someone wants to call this an iMac problem?
Have you ever heard of the ITU-T? They are the dudes who dictate what the standards are for analog connectivity used by the providers and modem manufactures....and guess what? V.35, V.35BIS, V.32, V.32BIS, and V.28, etc., etc. are all previous standards that utilize maximum throughputs of 33, 28, 14, and 9.6 Kbps (of which all providers MUST be able to support if the line quality is not up to V.90 snuff). When a modem can not connect at 40 or so Kbps or better, down it goes to one of the other standards for a breif period.....unless of course your on a Crapple iMAC...then you get disconnected! ROFLMAO!....talk about me doing some digging! I think you just dug yourself into a big deep technical whole!
...Whatever you say Drone.....
You are the iMAC man!

<<Turns out that the 56K modem included with the iMac is
sensitive to the signal strength of your phone line, and the
analog line we were using wasn't up to snuff, though it
always worked just fine with other modems. It took a few
calls to tech support (with solid help from a cheerful guy
named Ed Hintz), but we switched to another office and got
it up and running again. Residential lines shouldn't have
trouble with the iMac's touchy internal modem, but those
in multi-line environments may have problems.
