Re: (ASCEND) Slowest K56 ever?

In the past 56K Modems that connect at v.34 speeds its been found 
that the modem firmware is old... Need to find firmware of 1.0 or 
higher to allow for 56k connect speeds (36000,40000,42000,48000).

48000 is the highest speed we have gotten..We are using channelized 
T1's to our MAX...

later
