 The X2 ISP here in North America are only a handful... not really enough,
 and just to prove it... I got a X2 Upgraded Courier, and I never saw
 anything faster than CONNECT 33600....

 Well, the Upgradable modem does not have *ANY* X2 technology at all, not
 just not activated, it isn't in the modem at all...
 DA> How do you "upgrade" or "activate" the "X2 Technology" built into

 From my previous experience with Sportster, you should be able to get the
 upgrade from USR in the form of a EEPROM chip and a chip extractor. You
 pop the old EEPROM out and pop the new one in...
 DA> Sportster's marked with "X2-upgradeable" are new enough not to have
 DA> the famous "hanging" bug reported last year, am I right? (any other

 I donno about that... I have lefted Sportster sometime ago, not long after
 I upgraded from V.FC to V.34... (I asked for a FIX, and they sent me a
 UPGRADE... THANK YOU USR!!! :) )
