As Matt pointed out, this is as expected. With K56Flex connections, the
symbol rates supported for the upstream direction allowed upto 33.6
connect rates - but the code was developed to be less aggressive with
respect to attaining these rates due to potential issues with interference 
to the downstream. With V.90, the symbol rates that support 31200 and 33600
are optional and *apparently* none of the V.90 vendors have implemented
them (partly citing the same reasons).
