Modem and number of applications accessing

[adrianhall 0]

Another question, I have a 56k USR voice modem. Again under Win98 I could download from my newsclient (Newsgrabber), retrieve files through Getright and surf through IE5 - albeit slowly!!!

 

Anyway, in W2K if I'm using IE5 I can also use OE5, but if I'm using either Newsgrabber or Getright, IE5 or OE5 can't establish connection, similar to me having no phone connection.

 

I've got compression and flow control enabled - without them I get horrible download rates.

 

Any ideas you experts?
