I am the proud possessor of a first-release USR WinModem, not their best
implementation of DSP PCK technology. It was a "mere" 28.8 when shipped. 
Running 33.6 drivers downloaded in November I'm seeing consistant 31.2
connects and 2.7k/s downloads, aided by living less than a mile
Northwest of the 25th St CO. I haven't bothered buying X2 drivers
because I've been waiting for the v90 dust to settle, but the
competition's going to have to do the new spec a whole lot better than
3Com (nee USR) for it to make sense to buy new hardware. There are a
whole lot of folks out there with  similarly upgradeable hardware like
mine, so the only real question will be when will the right software be
available?
