If the Options line has V. 90 listed, then your modem supports 3Com 56K technology. Make sure that the number you're dialing is an actual V. 90 server. Some ISPs may have a mixture of V. 90 and non-V. 90 servers. You can check this by contacting your ISP and asking them about 56K technology or V. 90 availability. If it is a V. 90 server, you may want to try calling it a few more times. Dated proof of purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller may be required.
