Looks like no possible way here.. :-(

You can't tell for sure if it's "56K" or V34 until the modems
has connected.  (Which takes 10-20 seconds.)

V8' may give a chance to drop just after the "burps", but it's
not supported by many V34 modems.  Means the ones most likely
to be dropped, *has* to connect.

Right.
At initial negotiation, K56 will fallback to V34 if the line can't support
K56 (not digital all way, too bad quality, changed bit format etc).

But once connected as K56 though, it's no way back to V34.
