This is v.90; maybe I should turn that off? The v.90 should be a choice. For example, I occasionally get 28.8kb and I know I have a bad line but the handshaking also has a different tone and I was told that was leaving v.90. Your two user modems should not be able to connect are more than 33.6 because each considers the other an upload and settle for 33.6 kb max. The modems that support 53kb are different from the ones a user can purchase. I don't have any idea why they wouldn't connect at 33.6kb other than a mismatch or line quality between them. That is terrible and I would expect a configuration problem. They are supposed to argue until they come up with something they both support. In your case, it is 9.6 kb You can set them up to tell what the connection is and I would log that and see if it provides any clues.
