In my experience all 'cheap' (read: 'low quality components') modems have compatability problems. 'cheap' modems usually have problems handling odd things (I'm sure the kflex modem tone-up is a bit different), and it just hoses the modem and you don't get the results you want to... I've personally had this problem with every modem since a 2400... Cheaper in price generally doesn't mean its less expensive :) >From my experience, Supra has been my best modems yet, but I haven't tried to use kflex (our switch is a real classic - DMS-10, with plenty of its own problems causing us not to be able to use it), but I'd suspect they would be making a quality kflex capable modem pretty cheap.
