- ever since i got the v.34+ firmware for my courier, my connect rates
- have gone up. when i used to get 24, i get 26, where as 26 now gets
- 28 and when i used to connect at 28/28 i know get 28/31, so its
- worth it for me, plus the cost is nothing to upgrade. whereas the
- cost to upgrade on any other modem bsaed on the rockwell engine
- will cost a lot of money to upgrade. i heard 33.6 connects are seen
- a lot in germany and other countries. reading your advice makes me
- wonder if you work for a modem company.
