It can be bumped up later. The main reason I suggested a lower starting
rate is that in my previous experance using the USR Sportsters and a PM2 was
that many of the USRs did not work correctly at more then 38.4K but other
modems on the same port would. From what I understand this was fixed in the
later versions of them. Also only uncompressed data will be affected.
Compressed data such as ZIP/GZ/GIF/JPG do not get much more performance out
of the high erport speed in my experance.
