That doesnt actually prove a damned thing. Clearly it would negotiate a
V34 or VFC session. The problem is with V32bis sessions, and the weird way
that a Courier attempts to see if V32terbo is possible. It aint ever gunna
even contemplate V32terbo when its called by a V34 or VFC capable modem.

We KNOW that V32terbo is a monster kludge, particularly on capability
negotiation with V32bis modems that know nothing about V32terbo, thats
part of why V34 took so long to formalise, it was attempting bulletproof
robust capability detection with the vast number of modems in the field
that knew nothing about the later protocols. It achieved that, if you
disable V32terbo in a Courier, the problem is completely eliminated.
