I am in germany too and for me KFlex works only on half of the users
willing to do ... and even those have to redial 3-4 time to get a stable
connect.

It doesnt matter if V.90 is a standard. Ascend and USR hardware can already
do it and every provider chosen a different hardware then Livingston

Since 3.8b13 all betas had been rebooting for me every 24-48 hours.
Modem code went much worser in b17 for me so i am stuck with an old
