Something I've noticed along the same lines... With an external USR 33.6 modem, I can dial into a Quad Analog V.34 card at 33.6. But if I dial into a DSP card, I can only get 28.8. What does this mean? Am I getting poor quality into my DSP cards? Even worse - I have two POTS lines - a bad phone line and a good phone line. With a 56K modem, I dial into a DSP on the good line at 49.3K. But using the bad line, I only get 45.3K. However, if I plug the bad phone line into a Quad analog card, I still get 33.6K, whereas I can still only get 28.8 dialing into a DSP from the good line. Also, when I get 45.3K dialing from my "bad" line, I can still dial into my competitors' TC at 49.3K. On my good line, I dial my DSP's at 49.3, but I get 50.6 or 52K dialing my competitor. All this seems to indicate poor quality on my CT1's. But where should a guy start to try to fix this? Telco insists the CT1 lines test perfectly and there's nothing else they can do. Any ideas?

Connecting to a TC chassis (quad analog cards, netserver), I get faster connect speeds from an old Motorola 33.6k modem than from a USR 56k. Does anyone have some magical init string for the USR that would make it connect at higher speeds?
