Try getting a replacement for comm.drv which is your \windows\system directory. I think delrina's replacement is freely available at ftp sites and there are a couple of others around as well. The original comm.drv with windows 3.1 is awful. With the replacement comm.drv I got with qmodem pro for windows I'm now able to download in the background without any loss in speed at 14.4k and I can even work in a full screen Dos windows while downloading with throughput dropping to about a 9600 level.
