Interesting.  I have the opposite problem in that my connection is

Subject: SOLVED MY U/L PROBLEM!!!
You're very welcome.  And I do remember your problem -- uploads getting
cut off.  I also remember how upset and frustrated you were when you
first posted.  After a couple of people replied you got a lot more
friendly.  It makes us feel good to see that happen.
One of the problem-solving steps after checking and rechecking the
"failing" program is to remove all TSRs and non-essential drivers,
then add them back one by one until you isolate the one that conflicts
with something else.  Since it can be very tedious, I tend to forget
it.  Looks like everybody else did, too.
BTW, how did you manage to finally find it?

Hi Charlie,
By accident!!! I went into the readme.doc file of my time setting and
monitoring program to learn how to view the log, so that I could see if
my computer clock was getting more accurate (had been wildly
inaccurate.).
While paging down through the .doc, I saw a heading about the program
sometimes causing modem communications problems on some systems. Read
that, added the recommended switch to the autoexec.bat line for the
program (still not knowing if this was my problem!), fired up my modem,
and u/led a 950xxx byte file to three bbses without any problem!
Don't think I was happy and relieved...on one hand...and thoroughly
POed on the other? The solution to, actually the means to have avoided,
my MONTHS LONG FRUSTRATION was on my computer all that time!!! All I'd
have had to do was read further in the .doc file than the Install and Run
sections!  B:))
Oh well, my granddad used to say, "If you don't use your head, you'll
end up using your feet!" Maybe that's why my feet are so big and so
flat!
BTW, never knew about the TSR removal solution. Guess everyone on the 4
modem echos where I asked for help thought it was so basic that everyone
knew it and that I'd already tried it without success. Haha!
Thanks again, Charlie!

  I know this might sound stupid but here is my two cents...
Have you tried to set your NON-VOLATILE RAM to &C1 and &D2??
If not from your terminal mode type...
AT&C1&D2 <enter>
then AT&W <enter>
then set your modem init string to ATZ^M
Or you could just set you Modem init string to include the
&C1&D2 ... This should clear up your problem
But that's just my two cents!!
Have fun...

        There are MANY different modems and it is very important to
select the CORRECT modem that is installed in your system.  Check your
documentation that came with your computer and select the Specific Modem
that is in your Computer.  I doubt if you have a Generic 2400 baud modem
in your 486...  If that is in fact what you have, I'm not surprised that
it doesn't support FAX....  Get a faster, more sophisticated modem if
