Which it has.  Same modem at this end too.

9 or 10 perfect V.32bis calls in succession to the NetComm constitutes a
reasonable level of evidence as far as I'm concerned.  An even greater
sample would be better, but I've never gone more than 3 or 4 calls before
without a V.32bis failure.  Sorry, but the Spirit WAS a contributing factor
here.

Regards, Bill
