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.
