AGA + VGA = slow serial

[mwoof]

Hi all,

I have a 1200 AGA 040/25+PPC/160, 1084 and SVGA monitors and 56K modem.  I wish to get rid of the 1084, but when I use a VGA screenmode the modem slows down!  I had read about this problem in the past, but is there a way to overcome it without changing hardware?  (Note: I already have an AmigaOne but wait for OS4 to come out, as I can not justify Linux messing the files just because it crashed and I had to press the reset switch...  :-?)

Thanks.

I add another option:

use VGA 640*480 with 16 colors or 320*480 with 256 colors...

I had this idea too!   :-D  I run a utility which opens additional screens and used 640x480 in 16 and then 32 colours.  I also had to make the modem slower (38400 instead of 57600), but since I use it mainly for chats these days it won't be too much of a bother.

Thanks everyone for the advice.  :-)  In the meanwhine, I had another thought: is is possible to make an Amiga to composite cable, and if so would it have a better picure than the built-in composite output?  I have one of those TV tuner devices for VGA monitors and the Amiga->Scart does not give a picture through the VCR...  :-(
