I very rarely ever see a 33.6 modem connect at 33.6. Even on a good clean phone line, 28.8 is normally the best you will see - maybe 31.2 sometimes. Is your 56K connecting at 33600 or 33333? This is an important distinction - 33600 is a rare perfectly clean V.34 connection, where 33333 is a crappy V.90 connection, and with a rural phone line I would bet that it's the latter. A line that connects up at 33333 V.90 will probably support about a 24000 V.34 connection - maybe 26400 if you are lucky.
By the way, I am referring to the indicated connect speeds shown by dialup networking in Win9x.
