Having used UKA_PPP for quite some time in the past, I can say there's no  
trick involved at all.

So long as you provide UKA_PPP with the following information, there  
shouldn't be a problem with data transfer rates:

ComPort
ComPort address
ComPort IRQ
Baudrate (this should preferably be 115200 but 57600 would suffice)
Modem init string

There is absolutely no need whatsoever for the M$DOS MODE stuff!

I feel that your problem *may* lie with your modem init string.
What modem is it exactly?
What chipset has it got?
What init string are you using in UKA_PPP?

 LT> Thanks and regards,

Hope the above information helps .....

Martin
