Good.

If you wanted a USR, that's what you should have bought.

Modems "out of the box" are set up for use as "dumb terminals."

What happens when you follow the install instrutions? Did you find 
your modem in Windows? Did Windows identify it correctly?
Did you run the install program? Do you have the most recent
firmware in the modem?

 AA> The modem struggles and struggles doesn't succeed.

OK - it doesn't work. Was there an error message? Did it
stop the software at some specific point? Do the lights
flash? Does it make noise?

 AA> I updated the ROM to the lastest the USR support site offers.

Good.

 AA>  Still no go.

After you flash the modem ... you need to reset and reinstall.

 AA> I guess I need to play with the registers. 

No - you need to figure out what's wrong and fix it.

Yes - disabling rate negotiation is not a good idea. 
When you flashed the modem, this (these?) values 
should have been reset.

At the end of the day - you may be trying to make a v.92
connection with a v.90 - based ISP.

At my ISP (att.net) I could connect at v.90 speed on
the "800 number" but not at all on the regular dial-up
with my Motorola modem. (I now use "Hayes" or
Rockwell "HSP" modems.)

Post your details and I'm sure you can get help here.
