HI
I have a 'cheap' rockwell chipset modem which is supposedly 33.6K the
modem is  made by harmony. Since i struggle to get a 28.8k connection
with it, and have tried everything under the sun to improove this. I
would hazerd a guess to say the modem is CRAP. And intend to change it
for the more expensive but apparently more succesful USR.
Not that i'me bitter or anything!
