Wrong. From what information/experience do you speak? Ive been using and
installing modems since the days of 110 baud decwriters and Ive done quite
a bit of research.

Again wrong. Max compression thruput is 4:1, meaning if you have a 33600
modem, you should technically run at 134400 baud. 115200 is fast enough in
most cases. Hayes even recommended when they first came out with 336, that
you purchase one of their high speed dsp port cards, because it is the
COMPUTER and NOT the modem that had trouble keeping up with DTE speed.
