    Hi Patrick,

    On the Server, I had a Banksia WaveSP56, and I removed it and re-installed
    drivers for a Standard 56k modem.
    When I dial in from the Win98 client now, I get 33.6Kbps. - a very
    respectable speed.
    When I was using the Citrix, I used a Hayes 14.4 compatible driver - maybe
    the Banksia drivers weren't happy.
