Sol, I have a Motorola that did the same thing. It is Kflex and I wanted to connect to a second ISP that was X2/V.90. Before the flash upgrade, it would connect at "33.6". After the upgrade, it would only connect at "26.4". De-installing the V.90 upgrade and reinstalling the Kflex flash returned to a "33,6" connection on the X2/V.90 ISP. What was really interesting was that it also happened with my first ISP which is a Kflex/V.90 ISP. Before the V.90 flash upgrade the modem connected at anywhere from "43.x" to 5x.x); after "26.4". Reversing the upgrade returned it to normal. My guess is that the V.90 is a bad standard or that X2 and Kflex manufacturers implement it very poorly. (I have heard that the final standard is not expected until the end of the year and what is now called the V.90 standard is actually an interim standard.) My suggestion is to de-install the V.90 flash upgrade and reinstall the X2 flash. This should return your modem to "normal". "They" sure make it difficult when each ISP requires a different type of modem. HTH, MH At 04:28 PM 8/1/98 -0700, you wrote: >I own a USR 56k x2 modem.
