But if you only get this type of problem in Windows 2000 and not Windows 98, then it probably be the driver problem

hi all
i have a USR 3com Message Modem EXTERNAL on com2 (NOT a winmodem)
well i have 300bytes/sec download speed on all files, and time outs on webpages, and MAJOR lag on IRC
i tried win2k drivers, 3com2k drivers and 3com NT4 drivers, also checked baud speeds 115200 for modem AND com2
formatted many times and for 3 hours yesterday it actually was normal speed but after reconnecting back to normal. Windows98SE no probs its working very fast as u can see i can write this, in win2k i wouldnt even be at this page yet.
It took me 3 hours to download a 400kb file and i cant take it anymore
