I also am quite happy with my USR modems. 

The v.32bis modem is used on the SLIP connection over a leased line
of 180 miles and we get transfer rates has high as 3.1 kb/sec (ASCII -
binaries runs around 1.7kb/sec) and throughput doesn't change much
for two transfers at the same time - one going each way :)

On dialup we have USR DS modems - and they yield transfers on the average
of 1760 cps (downloading binaries from the BBS).

Now - UUCP on these modems is another story - in the HST modem at best
throughput is 350 cps, while V.32 on non v.42bis and non v.32bis connections
runs around 880 cps.
