I manage several remote boxes on verizon and sprint EVDO networks, and haven't really been able to get beyond 50 kbytes/s, but thats been ok for my needs so I haven't pressed it. You can modify the baud rate and I believe the real secret is in the modem initialization string where you should be able to modify the internal settings...which may be different for every model. Hope that helps, good luck. Robert Campbell PS. Be careful about using more than 5GB per month, at least Verizon will bring the hammer down, currently.
