My configuration: '286/8 MHz, MS-DOS 5.0, Waffle 1.64, used for my site only 
(no BBS operation). I use a Digicom Scout+ since 8/92 and after several 
initial problems (most because that was my first V.32(bis) modem) which 
were solved from Wolfgang Henke (good support! )and the net it does 
quite well now with data comm. I get (V.42bis disabled) about 900..>1100 
cps polling my host (depends on the mail percentage) 

Problems sending faxes with the delivered fax software for DOS (DosFax 
Lite 2.0 or BitFax S/R 3.09A; WinFax Lite 2.0 does well) still remain 
but I dont believe thats the modem.
