  Well, as other good users have pointed out, I wasn't entirely truthfull.
  In fact, the 33.6 connection depends *very much* on your own line quality.
  If you have a good line to your exchange, your exchange is fairly modern
  and 100% digital, and BT provide a good connect from your exchange to
  the Colt interconnect, then you are in with a chance. If any of the above
  does not apply, then you will get at best intermittent 33.6 connects and 
  normally 31.2 connects. In this situation, my comment still stands - 
  Demon will not provide any support other than to suggest that you disable
  the high symbol rate. (There is a known incompatiblity between the USR's
  and the Ascend at 33.6 under some circumstances - USR say its an Ascend
  problem, Ascend say its a USR problem, and Demon say 'what problem?')

  As far as the bandwidth goes, I was under the impression that Demon
  were still having a problem with that on the Colt lines, but several 
  readers have posted to say that they do not see this problem. Has it
  been fixed?
