ISDN Connection Speed

Guys, how can I check if I'm connected in single or dual channel mode? The connection icon says 115.2kbps, but when using this page to test my speed, it says I'm using 64k... I'm using oceanfree with a Xircom TA. I have no idea how to set it up, it was done by someone else... Thanks

Basically, if you're using dual channel ISDN you won't be able to make or recieve calls.

first click on the small connection icon on your quick launch bar

and then check in the details how many channels are open. it can be either one or two depending on the number of channels open

in your case, you must be using an external isdn modem with a serial connection which has a speed limit of 115k. you will never get the 128k speed if you were to use both channels because of the serial port limit.
