subject: 33600 connects

JP> In my experience with 33600 modems (USR and Rockwells), I've never 
JP> personally managed a 33600 connect. I have connected Courier to M34F, 

Since I upgraded my line 2 to 33k6 I've noticed a large number of inbound
33k6 connects. (I modified my #2 batchfile to log them to a special log,
for interest's sake). Unfortunately I've never had a 33k6 to my ISP (IBM).
I normally get 31k2. Occasionally, and ALWAYS when I force 33k6, I get a
negotiation failure at the very end of the handshake. I suspect that IBM is
using Couriers and that I am experiencing an "issue" between this
code and USR's. The modems on my BBS lines are now all GVCs, which use the
standard R6682 datapump, but no Rockwell CPU; the CPU has a strange logo on
it sort of like a lower-case delta character. Previous (14k4) GVC modems
used an Intel microcontroller, so I guess this chip is PROBABLY a
second-sourced Intel-code-compatible device.
