I wanna know how to get the 115200 connect speed..then I'll worry about
having to "force" it connect slower...

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 gaming, especially
with Nascar3. Does anyone know if there is any truth to
any of this? Thanks.
It's not that you will ever connect at 115200, but many
sources say to set it to the highest setting.......or 115200

Error correction and data compression add latency and use valuable CPU
cycles. So yes, those should be disabled. Some online gamers have made a
separate DUN profile for online *** in which they disable those features
and use another one, with enabled compression and correction, for casual
surfing.
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.

thanks........thats a great idea making 2 DUN
setups. Now if only I could figure out how to force
my modem to connect at a certain speed.
