: Tell him he probably needs to upgrade to a faster video card!  My 9600 baud
: modem was one of the reasons I sought out the Diamond Speedstar 24X. I get
: about 7 million WinMarks on my 386-25 and it just about keeps up with the
: modem speed (using procomm plus for windows, too).  He should get over
: 10 million on his machine with the same card.  Anything 10+ should yield
: acceptable speed...

I'm using PC Plus at home on my trusty old NEC 386 SX/20 with a 14,400
baud modem with no problems at all.  I am, however, running only
straight 16 color VGA.
