Jim,
We're using the 3Com/USR Courier I-modem on a 128k ISDN connection (with a 230.4kbps DTE) and it has been flawless for many months, handling any X2 or V.90 that call it. Our clients are very happy with their 5000+ cps file transfer speeds and the significantly reduced time they spend on the BBS.
