The slow transfer rate you are getting is exactly what I would expect for 
XModem *AT 300 BAUD*.

Is your terminal program set to 1200 baud?

When you establish connection, do you get a "CONNECT 1200" message instead 
     of "CONNECT"?

Are you connecting to a host other than some BBS which may only be capable 
     of 300 baud?
