Well, if you've got a V.90 modem, your best bet is to bitch to your ISP and
see when they're going to switch to V.90.  Most manufacturers have a
software upgrade to V.90 available.  If your ISP's sysadmin isn't sure about
going to V.90 I'd be happy to talk to him.  I've been admin over several
ISPs and I've seen a lot of equipment that's gone from both X2 and K56Flex
to the V.90 standard.  He'll probably say that V.90 isn't totally
straightened out, but what he's heard only really applies to end user modem
software.

I really think this is going to be your best route.  I haven't seen a
manufacturer yet that hasn't offered the V.90 upgrade for free.

Best of luck,

Tony
