Bet you a dollar to a donut the modem Rick is referring to is a V.34 Accura 
and the 56K refers to the port speed. :-)
I _know_ people are using Hayes 56KFlex because it has been reported that the 
performance comparisons with USR's X2 indicate they are about equivalent.  
The K56 Flex servers have been slow to arrive, though - my ISP will be 
installing this week.
