Are you SURE you're getting true 28.8? Don't always beleive what you read...or hear. Last I've done is: 1) Call the number with just a comm program..I've done that to test connects with the local AOL lines...28.8 90% of the times I tested. 2) Have a modem that displays the tx and/or rx rates on LEDs. 3) Drop back to command level with your modems escape sequence and issue an AT command to display the current rates. Or any other way you can come up with....
