What the deal is, is that using MNP class 9 most mfgs *claim* 4-1
compression of the data by the modem. I bet that if you tried running
a compressed newsfeed thru them, you'd be lucky to get 9600!

Whereas with a Trailblazer you get 18,000 bps wityhout compression. 
With compression you get even better results.
