- The only modem I've heard of being able to do this are some really
- old ('92 vintage) USR Sportsters. They could run at 16.8 HST. Of course,
- in some cases 16.8 HST can be slower then 14.4 v.32bis since HST is a
- half-duplex (one-way) protocol, while v.32bis is full-duplex. The real
- advantage to these modems was that they were based on more reliable
- hardware then the newer Sportsters.

- I'm affriad there's nothing you can do like that. You're modem is
- just a 14.4 modem, and no init string can change that.
