On a 28.8 connect you should be able to get around 3200 cps. So you're not 
getting a very good transfer speed -IF- that's on a 28.8 connect.

Here's where part of the problem might be. What do you have for a port rate 
with netscape? On a 386, windows is going to be working a lot to keep the com 
port from overflowing and running netscape at the same time. Netscape is a 
pig on memory and CPU resources. Are you using the dialer that came with 
netscape?
I can't remember off hand, and don't have the manual handy, but doesn't &F1 
load the software flow control setup? 
 RK> request, but any way to soup up the intensity of the lights on the
 RK> front?
Are all the lights dim or just the SD/RD lights? If you're receiving small 
blocks of data, I suppose they could be oscilating fast enough where it looks 
like they are dim???
Post your configuration and maybe someone can help you set it up a little 
better. Post the values from at\s and \s1
... DOS never says "EXCELLENT command or filename"...
