whoa, this is a while back but I believe before they standardized on
v90 56k there was x2 and flex? 56k standards. Not sure about this but
if the isp has USR or USR compatible 56k modems then you could
conceivably get more than 33k, if not, then not. I would try to see if
you can update the firmware or bios or whatever it's called for your
modem. Maybe this would make it workable with v90. Maybe at 3com's
site somewhere.
