- What do you mean? *Every* local call with my Courier DS V.34+ to another
- Courier V.34+ is a 31.200 or 33.600 bps connect. Without any fallback.
- Stable from beginning to end. About ours (one our tested).
- Distance calls about 250km are 31.200 bps calls every time I get a V.34+
- modem.

- I guess a ZyXEL is not fast enough to handle 33.600 bps. But I'm not a
- modem engineer, I don't know something about the internal structure of a
- 2864. But as they started selling the 1496, one of them told me "it's
- upgradable only with a new EPROM to every speed you think is coming in
- future"! And, what happened: You have to make a hardware upgrade...
