well, i am basing that experience on my GV 33.6 moden too (by the way what is the fatest download speed you have achieved with it? i often get into 70,000bps+ once i got 84,300bps out of it!) but other than that, i couldnt give you a positive yeah or nay cos i havent used the built in modem of a G3 PB. However, if it uses a similar chipset to that of a global village, there wouldnt be the need to change its maximum port speed rate cos the 56k is far lower than 155,200bps apparent 'limit' (really?) so why would they bother to change it? Well, that could be one reason, anyway.
