I have a USRobotics Courier 56K external modem that I believe is in my parents garage. It's prbly the best analog phone line modem ever made. I used to routinely transfer at rates far above 56K even when people were saying it was impossible to even connect at 56K (as did a few of my friends who also had this modem), and this is using the correct bit/byte/Kb math conversions. anyway, email me off-list if you want it.
