    I just got a 28.8 modem and notice that my internet connection baud rate now 
varies from a low of 16-something to (usually)24.0.  But never 28.8, not so far.  
When I connect to AOL, it is 19-something or 24.0.  
   I was told by my net provider that the actual rate with 28.8's varies with 
telephone line conditions, and apparently I had a "noisy line".  So, exactly how 
does that work?  Is there anything (within reason) I can do to increase my baud 
rates to 28.8, or just take what I get as line conditions change from time to time? 
 
  Did  my 14.4 always connect at 14.4 because line conditions are always at 
least that good, or is there something invariable about 14.4 modems as 
compared to 28.8's?
  USR 28.8 external, by the way.
  Thanks!
