 JA> I JUST bought a 28.8 sportster with v.everything(except 34)

 JA> got the 21.6 once, and mostly 19.2 on the others. I don't 
 JA> know what do do! Here's my init string. Is it something in 
 JA> here, or what?

 CT> I hope you don't expect to get 28.8 connects all the time with a
 CT> 28.8 modem - it's not like a 2400b or even a 14.4 - 28.8 is pushing the
 CT> phone system to the max, and connects in the 19.2-26.4 range are pretty
 CT> normal. 
 CT> If you own your dwelling, you might check the phone wires running
 CT> from your telephone line entry point, and even run new wire if what you
 CT> have is old. It may help, but it also may not make any difference.

 CT> Keep in mind that a 19.2 connect can get decent throughput.  I
 CT> often see 2500-2600 cps on compressed files with 19.2 connects.
