where did www.56k.com go?

[Gomer]

Are they just temporarily out of order?
www.56k.com? (http://www.56k.com?)

What gives?

What did it used to be about? I've never heard of the site.

I have. It WAS a great site for 56k modem info. They seem to have given up their domain name. No servers can find them. Too bad.

...modem info....speed wise???

It was a great site for modem tweaking, drivers, even a great message board. I am redoing a friends computer and needed a fresh driver for a Rockwell am56hcfsp modem. No such luck online. Bah!

For 56K modem info, try 56K=unreliable http://808hi.com/56k/index.htm

Gomer that is an Amquest modem and you can get the driver here: http://www.amquestmodem.com/support.htm

Sign on here, They may have the driver your looking for.

Thanks for your help. I was more curious about 56k.com going under then anything else. As for the modem, the most recent driver I could find was middle of 99. It is based on the rockwell rlvdl5dpf/sp chipset, it is a dual chipset modem.

You might want to keep looking here (http://members.cnx.net/reboot/modems/) every now and again for new drivers for Rockwell modems.

Thanks spark, That was the link I was looking for. Reboot seems to know his stuff.

I just tried them and it is up now. Here is a paste from their main page.
This is the NEW 56K.COM server
This is the newer, faster server. We apologize for the downtime, but there was a problem with DNS.

The message board is on and we've re-enabled the site seaarch feature!

They are with USIT who just got bought out by Onemain/Earthlink/Mindspring and that's likely where their DNS trouble originated.
