I did install a new one, but only after I started having major problems.

I did have to change some AT commands.  I actually have added something to
the init string to try to limit the speed on calls because I know anything
above 14.4k is likely not going to work.  This modem will only allow me to
restrict to 9600 so that is where I have it set.  If I try to restrict to
14.4 or 19.2, it will allow calls up to 56k which I know won't work!  :D

That said, unlike previous USR modems I have had, I do not think that
setting affects inbound calls, which means that callers can try to call at
whatever speed they want.
