Have USR started distributing the correct driver for it yet (the 33k6
version) or did you have to use the 28800 one? If it's the latter then
you'll have to download the new one from their ftp site or BBS - the
instructions should be with the modem - can't find mine at the moment.

If you DO have the correct driver, are you using the COLT number (0845
3535666) ? This is the only one that currently supports 33600 modems.

Funny...mine works at 33600 most of the time, and occasionally at 31200
if the bathroom light's on. Especially considering the number of breaks
and junctions on our phone 'network' - can't be good loss-wise!

Hmmm...have to disagree here - works fine for me

...again - have to disagree...works OK for me.

Well, I get a few visits myself and haven't been cut off yet.
