Hmmm... what type of connection do you get? Is it a 33.6? I've found the 33.6 
connections to be unstable and ridiculously slow. I get much faster transfers 
at 31.2 than 33.6... I remember reading a review in a magazine where they 
compared various modems, and the Supra was the SLOWEST modem of them all. Not 
by just a few cps, but closer to 1000cps slower. 
It was the Express modem they were testing, and there results were much like 
what I've personally found.

Let us know what it reports as the reason.

When you make a boot disk, what is it that you're changing during the bootup?
