Several international versions of U.S. Robotics (USR) modems are compatible with WhatsUp Gold. Both the German and French versions of USR 28.8 modems are known to be used successfully.


Note: Newer modems (e.g. 56K versions) may be utilized if their rate of transfer can be stepped down to a maximum of 2400 bps (TAP specification). However, some newer modems cannot be made to transfer below 9600 bps even though you may use an initialization string that specifies a lower rate of transfer.
