I have hesitated for a few weeks before posting this. It isn't an
attempt to be smug, but to describe my 'solution', albeit expensive,
to getting a Demon connection at over 28.8k:

I used to suffer from the 'USR problem' with a Voice Sportster at over
28.8k. After changing to a Hayes Accura Message Modem, I get a 33.6k
connection from on the COLT number *every* time - not even one yet at
31.2k or less.

The (digital) 0161 439 exchange is about 300 yards away, so line
quality is not an issue. Clearly, neither is anything at Demon's end.
News, however, is another matter....
