That sounds delightfully pointless. I very kindly gave away my US Robotics Sportster 28.8k which could be made to go at 33.6k by just ATZ-ing it so that form factor would tick a box for me.

I know it's bad form to regret being generous, and actually it allowed some good friends of mine to get online before they otherwise would have, but damn - I'd love to get that back now.
