Well, I can't really say one way or the other. I would imagine that the one I 
have is "better" than yours since it will do 33.6, but I wouldn't necessarily 
say that it's the data pump which causes poor performance.
Do you have an internal or an external modem? V34 allows for the line to be 
monitored throughout the call, so if line noise quietens down the speed will 
shift up. If noise increases, the speed can shift down.
With an internal modem you don't see the speed shifts. Sometimes I get 26.4 
connects, but within 1-2 minutes it does shift up to 28.8. I don't think you 
can rely solely on the connect rate to determine how good a connection is. 
You can adjust an S register so that you always get a 28.8 connect, but what 
good does it do if your modem shifts down to the slower speed after a couple 
minutes? All it does is give you the perception that the modem is running 
faster.

Perhaps you can contact your phone company and get them to check your line 
out. What would be real nice, and possibly clear some of this up, is some 
sort of "report" as to what's required for a 28.8 connect. Then you can ask 
your phone company if certain readings are adequate enough to sustain a 28.8 
connect. Do you know what I mean? Anyone from Supra reading this and care to 
comment?
... Are files embarrassed when the are unZIPped?
