I forgot what modem I have but I know I upgraded it from X2 to V90.  The 
atin commands don't tell me the manufacturer but I tried USR Sportster.  
Added to the end of eznet.conf
0 init1 AT&FS32=34.

Before I was getting downloads (from a commercial site) at 5.1K/sec, and 
now it is up to 7.K same site.

ati commands revealed that there is no S58 register, which explains why 
AT&FS58=1 only gets me as far as Registered device ppp0.

+MS commands - does not get anywhere.
I know I do not have a Lucent.

Are there only these three makers of V90 hardware modems?

There is also *Nn for setting connect speed (I tried &N20 to get the 5.1K 
download) and &Ux for lowest connect speed (did not work for me on this 
modem).  AT&F is the factory setting for other init commands, I think.
I hav some old manuals for 28.8 or 33.6K Sportster and Courier modems.  

I will try this same string with Netdial in DOS.  I had to increase a
couple of numbers when using this modem because it was timing out,
probably trying X2 before V90.  I think it is connecting in less time now
but I did not time it.  It works.

Where in Win98 would one add this S32=34?  The default for S32 was 002.

To use ati commands with Kermit type set carrier-watch off first. (I 
forget if  I typed c to connect before or after typing ati commands).
