I've just switched to Demon as my ISP, but my up-until-now perfectly
happy Motorola Modemsurfr external 56k modem will now only connect at
28.8k :(

I'm using a mac (which Motorola don't support! Hell, they've just bailed
out of the consumer Modem market so they probably won't support anything
soon)

Motorola are unaware of any problems using this modem with Demon.
As far as I'm aware, I'm using the correct PoP number for k56flex (0845
079 8666 or 8668), my phone line is fine (as I was getting 50k
connections with my last provider, NetKonect) and I have the correct
flash upgrade (v1.009). My Modem script/CCL/ARA script or whatever you
want to call it is one I snaffled from info-mac as I couldn't find any
mac-specific resources on Motorola's website, but I don't think this is
the problem (as I say, it was working fine with another ISP). I guess it
just doesn't like negotiating with Demon's modems.

Has anyone got one of these working with Demon? Is there a magic init
string or anything?
