If you are using a Microsoft dial-up icon:

On the 'Server Types' screen:

- disable un-needed protocols, enable only TCP/IP
- disable software compression
- try enabling and disabling 'log on to network' and see which is faster

On the modem configuration screen, 

- If you expect to connect at X kbps, limit the connection speed
to something around 2X or a bit lower.

Different revisions of Microsoft's dial-up networking feature seem to
work slightly differently, so you might want to experiment with the
various alternatives.
