*I* have the Supra Express SP 33.6 internal modem, and previously could
only get 26400 connects as my best. After my ISP switched from
Southwestern Bell to MCI T1 connection, I'm pretty consistently now
getting 33.6 connects! A lot depends on line conditions, and my
area seems to have fairly "dirty" lines (ESPECIALLY when the ground is
wet!) Anyway, MY two cents worth.
Cheers,
Phil
