You probably have one of the newer models of Sportster which don't
have registers as high as S54. There is a workaround for connection
problems with this modem - add S32=18S33=32 to your init string
instead of the S54 stuff, but I think (not having any good
documentation on the meaning of these registers for this model) that
it forces VFC and won't allow connections above 28800. I could well be
wrong on that point. It is also possible that, if it does force VFC,
that you'll only get 14400 connections on the Beta lines. Peter
galbavey pointed out that Ascend released one or more cuts of their
new code which enabled 33600 at the cost of disabling VFC, thus
forcing those modems that use VFC (as some of the init strings do) to
drop back to garden-grade 14400 connections.

Hence the warning about beta-testing on these lines.
