- Is this a v.FC only modem? If it is, and your provider uses v.34 only
- modems, you will only connect at 14.4K, as you describe in problem 1.

- Problems 2 and 3 sound like your serial port rate may be changing based on
- your connect message. You don't wan't this. Under the part where you
- select the speed in Win95 Dialup-NetWorking, it has a checkbox that says
- "Only connect at this speed". The speed selected should be at least 38400
- or 57600, and you *DO* want that checkbox selected.
