   I only had two modems of note, one was 14.4 kbps and then 28.8   
   kbps. IOW, V.32bis and V.34. Phone lines were in decent condition so I   
   nearly always connected at the nominal speeds. But weirdly if there was   
   ever a disturbance, both modems would hang up. They always seemed to try   
   to retrain but never succeeded.   
      
   Never bothered with the "56k" modems or any "winmodems", there was ISDN   
   by then and the cheap interface cards for it.
