 I have a SupraFaxModem that I've upgraded to 33.6.  The best connect I've 
had 
with another modem is 31.2 and that's with a local BBS.  My ISP also has some 
USR modems that have been upgraded to 33.6 yet the best I can connect with 
the 
ISP is 28.8 which is better than the 24000 or 26400 I used to connect to them 
at.  I guess the best answer that I have to your question is that the modem 
at 
the other end of the connection has to be capable of a 33.6 connect and the 
phone line in the connection has to be clean enough to allow it.  Hey 24000 
is 
still way better than the 300cps I started telecommunicating at! ;-)
 MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
