Ask in a networking newsgroup like
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win2000.networking
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.networking
(whichever is appropriate to your Windows version).
Upgrading your modem may be an extremely cheap choice, considering good
modems can be had for US $10.
