Just to clarify what the 5 commas do. They put a delay of 2 seconds 
per comma before the PCs modem listens to the Ascend modem. This is 
the classic 'fix' for users modems that get upset by the V.90 
initiation tone (also known as the V.8bis tone). I usually use 4 
commas, but as each comma induces more delay them the Ascends modems 
will be further down the list of speeds that it is trying to 
negotiate. That is why you see the Ascend starting at a low speed and 
workiing upwards.
