 From a 1990 USR V.32Bis with ASL Courier Manual :)

  'Like most high speed modems, Courier modems fall back to the next lower 
speed (12k, 9600, 7200. 4800) if poor line conditions warrent. Unlike other 
modems, however, that stay at the lower rate for the rest of the call, Courier
modems detect improved line coditions and shift upward again to the next 
higher speed. ASL keeps the modems online. always operating at the highest 
possible speed, and constantly ensuring data integrity'

 The old 14k4 USR's also had a 'Enhanced proprietary V.32Bis' for Faster 
Connects and Faster Retrains :)

 Cya!
