It may not be the ISP software. In the Internet settings (e.g. right-click
on the IE destop icon and select Properties, or go to Control Panel -> Internet)
under the tab marked "Connection" there are check boxes for using a modem
or the direct LAN connection, and whether to dial on demand. You need LAN
connection, no autodial.

You can specify fixed speeds in the modem initialization, but I don't
reccommend this. The typical default, which negiates the line speed
down from the RS232 speed till the link works, but does not change
the RS232 speed, is much safer. I don't think I have ever connected
at the max line speed, and sometimes the actual speed that worked
was much lower than I ever expected. But I always get through.
Not necessarily true if I fixed the speeds.
