Sounds like a configuration problem if you're SURE it's a V.90 modem.
You might try checking the settings for your modem's serial port. Go
to:
Control Panel|System|Device Manager|Ports|COMx|Properties|Bits Per
Second
and make sure that the rate is high enough. Also, double check the
stored settings for your modem to make sure that they are set to the
maximum rate. HTH
