1. The current modem code does NOT officially do anything over 28.8.
Anything higher is purely test/development. The next modem rev should be
33.6 and out testing shows it is faster.
2. The V.42bis dictionary is 1/4 the size of what most modems have. This
has a varying impact on total transfer rates - we're slower because we
don't compress as efficiently. The code in testing has the full size
dictionary.
In testing the new code holds it's own, can can beat, USR Couriers.

They will be phased out, after some number of code releases that support
both support for the old cards will be dropped.
