115k wasn't your connection speed. It's the speed that your modem
communicates with your system, not the rate it communicates with the
modem you connect to. More often than not, when the phone lines will
only support 28,8, an old 33,6 modem will consistently get better
connection speeds (often 31,2) than most any 56k modem (often 26,4).
Put the 33,6 modem back in ;>
