Jim,
I have the same problem. When I first loaded 95 on my machine I would get
an acurate modem rate. After about a month, I would get an acurate rate on
occasion, and the 115 rate all other times. Another couple months along and
I would always read 115, even with a monitoring problem. How did I fix it?
Windows 98.
