Strange....I have a 56K modem that I purchased for $60 at a shoiw and I get on consistently at 42000-44000. Your findings certainly don't encourage me to bother with V.90. I thought V.90 was supposed to get you up a lot closer to 56K than you indicate. Thanks for the info, sounds like I should just stick with what I have until new technology gets us higher than 56.
