Hi Poe,

[Thus spake Poe Lim unto Sunny Leung:]

 SL> That's what I'm considering too - keeping the EP as a backup modem.

 PL> Microcom's v.FC seems to have been the most robust of the lot; I know
 PL> I used to get fantastic rates with my FAST (that was before the USR
 PL> was upgraded; SREJ more than matches the Microcom, let alone v.34+
 PL> when you get it). But now most calls I get are v.34. 

Talking of transfer rates, my Courier has been getting fantastic rates
with Netcomms - c. 3350 cps if I get a v.34 28.8k connect. In contrast,
the Courier gets the usual 3250 cps (rough figure) with Maestro v.34s.

I wouldn't have a clue why this performance differential exists, and
AFAIK (using ATI6) connects with Netcomms do not utilise SREJ which
could have explained any performance gap.
