How so, when BOTH x2 and K56Flex are restricted to a maximum link rate of
53kbps in the United States?  BTW, some people in the USR_Modems echo are
reporting absolutely _incredible_ DL rates with their x2 Couriers.

For example:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have never had a single 31.2Kbps or 33.6Kbps connection with my Courier.
Below are my first two X2 connections to the USR BBS.
  
  Speed                  46666/24000
  Speed                  48000/24000 

X2 does indeed seem to provide a dramatic increase in download speeds, 
even in the real world of average-mediocre phone lines.

Incidentally, is K56Flex actually available to the general public yet?
