I bought a 760CD a month or so ago and haven't seen the problem you guys have suffered, 
under DOS, Win3.1, or OS/2.  

One problem I did find annoying was that if I had the mwave modem set at 28800 and happened 
to hit a V.FC modem at the other end, my machine would drop right down to 2400bps and 
connect.  I'd have to hang up and set the modem to 14400 and call again.  

For the interest of anyone else with the same problem - Yesterday I found a new V32BIS.DSP 
file that has fixed it.  Wonderful
