My experience has been that anytime the modem is in use,
the rest of the machine slows for it. I have a P166 with
64mg Ram and the modem can stop it. I think it may have
to do with the timing of the modem. (so the system doesn't
lose the information from the port by being tied up somewhere
else when a buffer is full?)
