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.
