Ok here is the problem my 56k modem was running at 36bps and yesterday after much ado I found out that to speed things up i needed to update my drivers to v.90...which i did.
Now I am getting up to 44bps out of it which at first delighted me...but then i found that in reality it was runnig slower than ever(up to 5mins to get into irc and when there pings of over 3mins!!being examples of its turtlesness).
So does any saintly soul out there know what could be the problem and more importantly how i could fix it??
Thank You!
Rory
