Also, a couple other things to consider. Are you sure you're dialing the 56k lines of your internet provider? Some ISPs have separate numbers for 33.6 and 56k. Also, is this modem connected to an office phone system at all? One little-known issue when dialing through phone systems is that, unless you've got an extremely expensive one (like a large, corporate telephone network spanning several states), the phone system likely won't support a connection that fast. I had that problem at my office until we went with ADSL.
