Nick said: About 3 months ago I upgraded the Mwave DSP in my IBM ThinkPad 760CD (P120, 40MB RAM, 1.12GB HD) with the new driver v2.25 (for windows95) from IBM, which enables 33.6kbps modem speed. The previos version (2.24) has a 28.8kbps maximum. Much deleted. Synopsis: MWAVE modem prevents simultaneous sound and crashes regularly, requiring a reboot to connect again. Yes Nick, I was nearly driven crazy by this too. I experienced these two problems on all versions of MWAVE software (including Windows 3.1) and could never solve them. I struggled for more than a year with it on my 755CD. It's not worth it. Break down and buy a PCMCIA modem. You will spend around $200 and be thrilled with the results. Your Internet connection will feel much faster in comparison. The DSP chip, no longer overcommitted with modem duties will produce timely sound and will not crash. This problem is quite an embarressment to IBM. Aaron.
