I'd just forget about K56flex, it doesn't work reliably anyway. Stay with
V.34 for the time being, and then go to V.PCM (V.90) the moment USR has it
implemented...

The ITU has finalized the first draft of V.90 last week (or so), so we
should see the first modems based on it in a month, maybe. The standard
is expected to be released in September, but many think that the technical
details won't change very much until then.
