Are there ANY other modems that definitely support it? We struck out
with Hayes Accura, Motorola ModemSurfer, SupraExpress 56K. All had code
at 0.xxx and none of them would negotiate at 56K speeds. One (the Supra)
even reported a fast busy. Motorola says they have 1.xxx code but they
were not shipping it since it had problems with European phone systems.
Hayes technician denied new code was available. None of the modems off
the shelf we bought a week or two ago show a high enough code revision.

And one of the legacy modems that was connecting to the PM-3 at 28.8
is now doing it at 26400 transmit and 4800 recieve! So much for improved
compatibility with the Lucent modems.
