Ok, I can accept it, even if virtually ALL V.34 connections go 33.600 in
BOTH directions... (maybe we're inheriting US FCC limits to 56K, so we
cannot get 33.6K?)

But... why shouldn't none of our MAXes connect at 31200 upstream? As i've
said, it NEVER happened. It's always 28.8K. I think it could at least *TRY*
to do it... It looks like a fixed upper limit. I don't understand it. As I
don't understand the silence of our Ascend friends...
