Well thats the problem (its a v.34 Optima). I have one of them (until the
USR arrives) and its total junk. I too found many occurances where the
Hayes would't connect unless I manually limited the speed - seems the Hayes
is unable to work it out on its own, and so only works if the line is
(near) perfect.
