Hello Rich,

I agree with you about a normal V.90 modem. 44 kbps for downloading
seems not uncommonly low. But uploading at 2.8 kB/s seems somewhat
low, rather with a fall back to 28800 bps (V34), not at 33600 bps
(V34bis). There is also a fallback step at 31200, maybe others?

So, you name 'server modem' a modem for ISPs, to send at V90 speed.
They probably have such modems, not advertised for other markets.
Then, there's also the 3Com I-Modem. Not widely available, nor
advertized, but AFAIK, it can be used to send at V90 speed. I think
my sysop have one. I could connect to his BBS in V90 mode... when I
have a V90 modem (not justified now).

RW> $600.00 (US).  About 3x the price of a Courier..

USR Courier still available? I see only "3Com Professional Message
Modem" now.
