I am seeing similar renegotiations on the test USR X2/V90 modem I bought
recently. They are particularly evident when I call from home (where I use
modems, and from which I work). "Home" is in the 360-437 exchange, which
is a "Flex-free zone", although V.90 does limp along (with the
renegotiations).
In about 5 cases, the renegotiations were particularly frequent (most
packets seemed to trigger them), and those connections eventually dropped
(the renegotiation count was in the low three figures). Removing other
load from the phone line seems to have helped.
Here's the connection I'm using at the moment (it began at 48000, and went
to 44000 before I could check it in the PortMaster):
