Wow this is getting off topic but...from where I've come and gone to well I'd 
like to help so...FWIW I upgraded the Elite to Isdn for about $170,the cost 
here for a new Isdn Line is about $250 and it is way more cheap than buying 
the Courier to start off....
Second thing is that you are CM so I'll take the liberty in saying that 
you've got another Line maybe for voice?
Anyway having an Isdn line you can do away with the other analog lines and 
get yourself some msn's (costs here about 60 cents per msn monthly!) and that 
way you can enjoy the speed your after:-)
All of the above is if you do long distance calls if not....

... then you should know that usr and rockwell a making new modems at 57600 
so why jump the gun?

Perhaps no wall...so we can't fall:-)
