Anthony, USR Support and everyone,

I thought I was doing something wonderful when I downloaded the V90 upgrade,
but found out afterwards that was not the case.  I am now getting lower
connection rates and slower downloads. I want to undo this too and I hope
someone can tell me/us how? I was connecting at 54,666 before V90 upgrade and
now connecting between 46,666 and 50,666 (usually the lower speed) and that
is a big difference. BTW... I have a Sportster 56K Voice Faxmodem EXT.

Thank you! Ray
