When my Sportster 14400 connects to that BBS it displays 2400/NONE, what 
means real V.22bis.

 JM> connection,
Before buying the Sportster I used an Aprotek Minimodem 2400 and had no 
problems connecting to BBS's V.32bis modems, mostly Couriers, and 
recently I tried the old modem with a couple of V.34 Couriers and had no 
problems either.

I don't know how the handshake of a V.34 modem is done but the Courier 
supports V.22bis and should correctly handshake with V.22bis modems.
