Nope, the problem I'm certain is in the limited NVRAM
Rockwell KFLEX modem protocols in the modem.

The modem would not connect at all one day after connecting
regularly at 50,333.

I went scouting on the internet for answers, using an
external  hardware 28,800 modem, using Google
and found a very comprehensive web site that covered my problem
exactly.
Seems this old Rockwell software modem's memory isn't large enough
to take a upgrade protocol flash.

Just as the web site indicated appending +MS=V34 returned the modem
to operation only at 33,600 but at least it negotiates
a connection now.

This is NOT the first modem rendered usless by Verizon's protocol
changes the first being a hardware 14,400 modem.

No other way around it, I need to purchase another modem.
