I have heard that unchecking error correction and
data compression in your modem's properties, as well
as forcing a lower than 115200 connect speed (like 38400)
will give better performance in online ***, especially
with Nascar3. Does anyone know if there is any truth to
any of this? Thanks.

It's not your terminal speed you need to worry about, it's the line speed.
By forcing your modem to connect at 28.8k instead of 33.6k or 56k you can
establish more reliable connection. See your modem manual to find out how to
do this.
