With the new K56flex Max modems, I'm now seeing 33.6 from just about everywhere. From home, from airports & hotels across the US, I call back to California at 33.6 now. With the old modems, it was more difficult to get better than 31.2 based on my limited experience with a Zoom 33.6 pcmcia modem. >What about these K56FLEX cards at lower speeds with heat etc as >problems?

The K56Flex cards actually dissipate heat better than the older modems. So heat is not an issue.
