I'd like to hear some experiences on this as well. I purchased a
Diamond SupraExpress 56K modem - cheap. While the 56K downloads
marginally faster, my 28.8 Motorola gets consistently better
ping/latency for *** - about 150 ms difference on the same system and
phone line. Hence, the Diamond is in my wife's computer. The other rub
and the reason I got the Diamond is that my ISP, Concentric, is still
only Kflex in my area.
So, I still maintain rock solid ping/latency with my 28.8, but can't
effectively host races.
Anyone care to share some 56K/V90 success stories?

Blah, blah.... The 56K numbers listed are Flex compatible.
Maybe I misunderstand this. It goes on to blah about x2 modems, etc. Nowhere
does it mention v.90.

Ping times reduced by half because there's no need for digital-analog
conversions, guaranteed 64/128kbps at all times both in and out, instant
connection.
I can ping from Finland basically anywhere in Europe under 100ms, and to the
US around 200ms.
Worth every penny (until I can get a cable or a T1 line :))
