Make sure your customer has the right modem script for a GV flashed to V.90
(with differs for an X2 GV flashed to V.90 and a K56Flex flashed to V.90,
since the modems are very different--Rockwell vs ???).

If it is a Flex flashed to V.90, a workable script is: "GV 28.8-K56 for ARA
3.0" (although I most recently used "GV flex/V.90 ARA 2.1/3.0/OT-PPP" which
is a couple of weeks older. For X2 flashed to V.90, I'm not sure (but it
isn't either of those).

The unknown rate means the script is mismatched to the modem. I believe I
remember a second V.90 flash upgrade not all that long ago.
