The following is from my ISP, most of their 56K RAS are those much cheaper Livingston's RAS (they cost 1/3 of the price of USR) with a small amount of USR RAS, they told me they couldn't afford USR stuff . But I doubt very much their suggestion of using un-upgraded 56KFlex to dial right into V.90 is a good idea. I'll have to give them some hell about this, my understanding is that Flex's V.90 is not backward compatible (only x2 is backward compatible, unless Lu has this problem solved) :

Hi all..

Just letting you know that all 506 of our digital modems have now been
upgraded to the new v.90 proposed 56K standard.

IF YOU HAVE A 56K modem, this may affect you.

if you have a 56 modem, and HAVE UPGRADED to v.90 OR its a K56 flex modem
you should be dialing 434-xxxx.

If you have a 56K X2 modem that HAS NOT BEEN upgraded to v.90 (ask your
modem manufacturer) then you should be dialing 436-yyyy

All other users 33.6K or below, should be dialing 437-bbbb

(Red Deer users keep dialing the number you are dialing :)
It has also been upgraded.

Thank you for your time.
