We have been able to boost a 28.8k connection to an average of 3.3k a second on most URLs.

In Windows 95, the speed of your modem may seem not to work, but the true fact is the baud rate for you COM Port doesnt allow you to reach top-speed.

To improve your ports speed, go to " Control Panel | System | Communication Ports , then double-click the port your modems in, then click the Properties tab and set the Port Speed to 921600 BPS; that way you wont have a sort of filter on the Port.
