- Yes, you can improve the Baud Rate!! Take your modem and $130 (us) to your
- nearest computer store and ask to have the high speed muffler bearing
- upgraded.
-
- When they get done your upgraded modem most likley will not look
- like it use to, it might even come in a bright new and shiney box. It is even
- probibly will ahve a new name on the face plate.
-
- For $130 you should get it upgraded to a 14400.
-
- I guess you could get it upgraded but the cost would be prohibitive. Best to
- spend a $130 and buy a new one
