 AN> Can you always connect to the internet at 28.8? Because I can, but
 AN> when I connect to BBS it will connect at 24.0 or 26.4. Is it just me
 AN> or are these modems fucked.

 AN> Netcomm says the reason they don't connect at 28.8 is because of bad
 AN> phone lines but I got telstra to test them and they said they were
 AN> perfect.

 AN> Anyways Cya

As far as I have been told - the reason it jumps from 28,800 to 26,000
etc.. is due to incompatiblities between your modem and that of the BBS!  I
have a couple of friends who connect to a multinode BBS and the modem on
node 1 will not let THEIR modem run at 28,800 but others can!  This is what
I think the problem is!
