I'd be willing to bet it's your phone line... I've had my Sportster 28.8
for over a year and it's been great. Only problem is that on my phone
line I typically get 24000 connects... Once in a LONG while I might get
28800, but it drops carrier after 10-15 minutes. At first I thought it
could be the modem, but I tried another phone line in the house and I get
solid 28800 every time... I hate telcos... ;)

: I have a new USR Sportster 33.6 internal. After 2 weeks, I have still been unable to connect at 28.8, much less 33.6. The best connect so far is 21600. Is there a possibility I have a defective modem, or it most likely a bad phone line?
: When I do a report, the modem shows a SN of 25 to 28 dB. Is that typical, or low? The only change to the internal setup is I turned off MNP5 compression. I have also tried turning of VFC, and 3429 symbol rate temporarily, but still no 28800 connects.
