It works! Well anyways, this is what I did.
1. Go into Windows Explorer
2. Scroll down to Dial-Up Netowrking
3. Click on "Make New Connection"
4. Name it *** Connection
5. At the bottam, you'll se your modem, click on "Configure"
6. Lower the maximum speed. I can't get mine to 28800, so I had to settle
for 19200
7. Go to the connection tab and then click "Port Settings" and uncheck the
FIFO Buffer
8. Click on "Adavanced" and uncheck error control and and flow control
9. Exit that, and click next and follow the intructions on the screen :)
BTW, I did 2 races yesterday and finished on VROC! :)
Thanks,
Alex
