I found that if I send a reset command to the modem e.g. ATZ0
my USR sportster will connect at 53k. I use Kppp so it is easy to stick
the reset string in the modem tab on the Initialization string field. I
don't know where you would put it outside of KPPP.
Before I did this I would only connect at 38k. Mandrake was setting my
modem into slow mode on boot up some how for some reason.
