Interesting since I know at least one person who claims to be using his Hayes 56K to call his ISP and obtain 43k-46k connects. Sounds like the K56Flex protocol is working in his modem at least.

My 14400 was hit by lightning and fried the EC> Flow Control You may "beg to differ" all you like. K56 Flex comes in two versions, client and server (host). The client (what your friend has) connects to a normal POTS analogue line and can receive at up to 56K - when connected to a K56 Flex server. The K56 Flex server _must_ connect to the telco with a digital connection, and can _download_ at up to 56 K. You might consider how it is possible for your 14.4 kbps modem to upload at a faster speed than 14.4, no matter what is on the other end of the line. The answer, of course, is data compression. The rest of the answer is the fact that your comm program can't calculate upload speeds with any accuracy because of the effects of the buffer in the modem, and that's why you see excessively high upload speeds.

There is an interesting article in this month's Computer Technology Review about the 56k technology, which nobody is able to achieve and has resellers and others scrambling to inform the end-user to "read the fine print."

Bet you a dollar to a donut the modem Rick is referring to is a V.34 Accura and the 56K refers to the port speed. :-) I _know_ people are using Hayes 56KFlex because it has been reported that the performance comparisons with USR's X2 indicate they are about equivalent. The K56 Flex servers have been slow to arrive, though - my ISP will be installing this week. Rick --- MsgedSQ 3.30 * Origin: The Warlock's Cave (1:163/215.39)
