I've kinda got the opposite, and totally different problem. (OK, I might as 
well have started another thread. =;-)
I've a Cardinal PNP modem in a VLB buss 486. (No support for PNP.) After 
scrambling to get it set up, it would seem to be in a major disagreement with 
my vid driver. I'm using the most current driver for the chip (S3 86C805), 
but it still seems to mess with the modem's performance. My problem, is 
likely that I don't know what next to do to exorcize the demon slowing down 
my internet connections. My file transfers from a DOS window, or from the 
command prompt (W 3.11f/WG, DOS 6.22) are just peachy with the ISPs BBS. 
(Same phone # and from other BBSes, but when I use Trumpet (v 3 I think), I 
keep falling back and never seem to go forward unless the wind blows the 
right way.
I'm suspecting my next trouble shoot should be to find a Windows 
communication program to see if it will bog down too, but after that, then 
what? Through ATPI (I believe it's called) I have tried to turn off all hints 
of compression, or line retraining, yet the same thing happens. I believe 
I've turned on all the [Enhanced] section of SYSTEM.INI that I was supposed 
to, and I've swapped out TWCOMM.DRV. The SERIAL.386 driver has been 
replaced...
Anybody?
... Thanks in advance, Rick. 	James
