Sick and tired of my 33.6 lousy dl speeds I bought a dirty (and I mean it) cheap generic modem. It has a Rockwell HCF 56k chip on it, and it´s so generic than I couldn´t even find the manufacturer neither in the box or in the manual
The damn modem even has a label "made in vietnam". I didn´t even know they make hardware there!
I gave it a try, installed it, even managed to get some other manufacturer (zoltrix I guess) HCF drivers more up-to-date.
It connects at 44000 bps (I was amazed, considering the poor quality phone lines we got here), downloads at 4-5 K/s, and I even got very decent ping times in online gaming (150-200 for portuguese servers, 200-300 for others).
So, amazingly enough, it´ll be replacing my ISA hardmodem...
