 I used a USR 33.6 Sportster for a while and couldn't get reliable
connections over 28.8. Of course, this could be because my ISP (and
everyone else's in town, I think) is on the north switch and I'm on the
south. Of course, I was on the north side for awhile and could only get
21000 connects...

 I'm using a Practical Peripherals 56k Flex modem and it's been working
great in my dialup server. It has a jumper you can use to turn off P-n-P
and some more that you can hardcode the IRQ with. :) The bad part is
that I had to put it in my Win95 machine to flash the prom. :(

 I actually found this one at Best Buy. I don't remember what I payed
for it though.
