To be precise, the review stated:

Motorola:

        Performance connecting to both Ascend and US robotics based
        service providers was good, with fast 33,600 bps connections
        every time.

        <snip> ....

        We had some problems getting a stable connection to a test
        K56Flex Ascend digital modem system. The ModemSURFR reported
        42,000bps connections. However, we found that it was prone to
        renegotiating speeds (usually downwards), as well as regular
        line freezes and line drops.

Supra:

        Like the Motorola, the Supra Express suffered from connection
        speed renegotiations and regular line freezes, ...

        <snip> ....

        The supra coped with 33,600 and 28,800bps ISP's and on-line
        services.


The reviews are credited to a 'Simon Bisson'.

So it sounds like their problems are 'hidden' at 33,600 but emerge at
56k. Either way, I can't see myself ever knowingly buying Motorola again
for anything!
