dialup modem too slow on XP

[RJ]

I just bought a new AMD Athlon 2800+ with XP SP2. I use IE6 and installed
ATT 8.0 and NetZero and a manual DUN connection to Att. None of them are up
to speed. I get around 20kb /sec, and the pages either don't load or take 5+
minutes. I never had this problem with Win98. The modem I use on WinXP is
HSP56 MR(SiS) modem by Conexant. When I installed the drivers that came with
the CD, it said the "HSP56 MR (SiS) has not passed Windows Logo testing to
verify compatibility with Windows XP...contact vendor for software". I
bought this system from a small Chinese shop. When I called, they said it's
ok, just click "continue" and install the driver and they are in touch with
Microsoft to get it approved etc. Is this a hardware or software problem?
I've looked for other drivers online but didn't find any.
Does anyone have any experience with this modem and compatibility issues?

Did you install the drivers as they directed?
