Can you always connect to the internet at 28.8? Because I can, but when I
¨connect to BBS it will connect at 24.0 or 26.4. Is it just me or are these
¨modems fucked.

Netcomm says the reason they don't connect at 28.8 is because of bad phone
¨lines but I got telstra to test them and they said they were perfect.

Anyways Cya
Andrew:)
