Yes, aside from updating your modem software/drivers, you might also want to 
check with your local telphone company for line quality/noise, and explain 
you wish to use the line for data communications.  Although it may be fine 
for voice transmissions, data transmissions can be a bit more sensitive.

Has this computer EVER been able to connect faster?  You may just need a 
shorter phone line from the computer to the jack (preferably less than 10 
ft., or a new cord - may have taken a power spike).  Is there anything else 
connected to this line -- fax machine, etc...?  If so, try disconnecting & 
see if that helps.

Are the phone lines to/from the computer connected to the correct ports?

Are you running the phone line through a surge protector?  Try it without it 
and see if it's any better.

Have you checked with your ISP?  Perhaps a problem with the particular local 
access number you're using -- heavy line traffic.

Do you have your modem's maximum speed configured & set to reflect it's 
maximum speed?

You might also want to check with your modem manufacturer to see what type of 
UART your modem has - may need upgrading (this is a chip that ensures 
high-speed communications).

Best of luck,
