SLOW connect speeds with new USR modem.

When I recently did a MB and CPU upgrade , I forgot to save the drivers for my modem and ran to Wal-Mart to get one for a quick fix. I bought a USR model 5699B and for some reason, I absolutely cannot get it configured to have even a half way decent speed of bringing up web pages. Also, if I need to do any program updates, forget about it !!! It's not happening. I still have my old modem which is a Conexant, but I can't find the model #. It has all of the stickers that came on it, but I don't know which one if any denote the model #. The sad thing here is, I had much faster download speeds with my old system that had the slowest celeron 2.8GHz and an Intel D845gvsr MB. I now have a 3.2GHz P4 and an Intel D848PMB MB.
So, if anyone can help me configure the USR or help me find the model # for the CXT, I would be grateful. Or, I'm perfectly willing to go buy another internal modem if someone can offer a few good suggestions.

Thanks,
