Even if your modem if apparently working well, the baud rate of your COM Port might not allow you to reach top-speed. To improve your port's speed: 1. Click Start >Settings > Control Panel > System. 2. Click the Device Manager tab, and click on the "+" sign next to Ports (COM & LPT). 3. Select the port your modem uses, click Properties, then click the Port settings tab and set the Bits per second to 115200 bps. That way you won't have a sort of filter on the Port.
