Thats exactly what I had until I matched my flow control on my computer
to the flow control on the modem.  Now I get about 1200 cps upload
and 1650 cps download.  Check it out.  If you see the CTS light go out on
your modem... (whan a BURST is in progress) and the TD light doesn't
go out very quickly... then you have a hardware handshake from your
modem that is being ignored by your PC... (I know it's a mac... but it's
still a Personal Computer... no?)

Could be a cable problem, or a software setup problem.
(How about a response from a Mac user on cables and Flow control settings)
