You could use an external serial modem in place of the internal one.
That should cost peanuts in the second hand market.
A cheap speed upgrade would be an AMD K6-2 450MHz CPU. Use the x2 CPU
clock multiplier setting (this translates to 6x) and an FSB speed of
75 MHz. You may be lucky and find an AMD K6-3 that works with your
motherboard.
Alternatively, overclocking your existing CPU would cost you nothing.
You could try 75 MHz x 5 (375 MHz) or 75 x 5.5 (412 MHz) or 66 x 6
(400 MHz, use the 2X setting). You might need to bump up the CPU core
voltage a little if the system becomes unstable. The jumper settings
in the manual appear to follow a binary pattern with JP1 being the
least significant bit and JP4 the MSB. Based on this assumption, I
have added those settings marked with an asterisk.
