Sounds like you have prehistoric hardware of some sort and buffer overrun problems. What do the diagnostics say for the connection?
It would be easier to give sensible advice if you posted in one of the modem groups with specific after call diagnostics from the modem.
Solutions other than unobtainable high speed connection?
Better RS232 or modem drivers and chips with enhanced buffering.
I thought these days it would be hard to find any lacking these features. The 16550 became very popular when modems reached 56k because it became possible for the download speed to exceed what DOS or 'Doze could accept reliably. OS/2 could simulate IO buffering in the device driver.
