I don't disagree that an internal 33.6k dynalink is capable of 33.6k connects 
after all they are a rebadged USR Sportster. 
 
What I am saying is that _my_ modem is a lemon and it isn't working as it 
should. 
 
I know all about the pause bug that &K0 is supposed to fix but I can tell 
you that even with &K0 my modem still pauses, not as much as without but 
it still pauses enough to be a bloody nuisance. 
 
My dynalink won't connect to certain BBS'  at higher than 19200 and that 
has to be set using the barbaric &Nx otherwise it just drops carrier. 
 
Soon I hope to test another modem in my computer on my phone lines and 
that should give me a more accurate guide of the quality of my 
dynalink. 
 
Cheers 
Mike
