

Make sure the software you are using is compatible with the computer's modem. (All preinstalled Sony programs are

Why is my modem connection slow?

Your computer is equipped with a V.90 compatible modem. Many factors may influence modem connection speed, including

telephone line noise or compatibility with telephone equipment, such as fax machines or other modems. If you think your

modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or your Internet Service Provider (ISP), follow

these steps:



Ask your telephone company to verify your telephone line is free of any line noise.



If your problem is fax-related, make sure there are no problems with the fax machine you are calling and that it is

compatible with fax modems.



If you are having a problem connecting with your ISP, make sure the ISP is not experiencing technical problems.



If you have a second telephone cable available, try connecting the modem to that cable.
