Reopen your SYSTEM.INI file, go to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI, and look for a group of lines that begin with COMx, where x is your faxmodem's COM port number.

Create or edit these lines as follows, making sure you type your faxmodem's COM port number in place of x:

COMxFIFO=2

COMxBUFFER=4096

COMxTXSIZE=16

COMxRXSIZE=8

COMBOOSTTIME=40

NOTE: 2 is an undocumented but valid option for COMxFIFO.
