I have a USR Sportster 28.8 modem purchased about two years ago. My ISP is IBM Global Network Services who are using USR x2 modems. About 50% of the time I connect to IBM, I connect at 56K. After reading the manual, it specified that the modem will transmit at speed up to 28,800 bps with throughput to 115,200 bps(I assume this is with compression.) I am happy about the speed of the connect. But I don't understand how I can connect at such high speed? Any ideas? regards

Dick, thanks for the modem info that you answered for me a few days ago. Just thought I would let you know that I ordered the 56k modem today. I had an x2 Sportster 33.6...I have to do the trade in thing. I called my ISP and they said they supported v.90 I hope I get the same results that you got. Wonder if we can upgrade the new modem to a cable modem in a year or so? (they are running the fiber optic cable to my house now..should have access in a month or so, but don't know when they will offer internet access yet, so I went with your suggestion and traded modems) Thx again for your help, Let
