1. About Upgrading to 33,600bps

Upgrading to 33,600bps should result in the following:

Up to 33,600bps speed when connecting to another 33,600bps modem
The highest speed possible when connecting to a 28,800bps modem
Faster connection negotiation

If you do not see these improvements, it may be because of one or
more of the following:

You are using a noisy phone line that slows data transmissions
You are connecting to a modem that is not 33,600bps or 28,800bps
and V.34 capable
