What I think should be possible is that the modulation standards should be
switchable based upon what Radius Call Check returns. Then you could switch
them based on Called or Calling Station ID for example. Then when a user
has trouble with v.90 for example you just get them to call the v.34 number
(or if you want to be really sneaky you check their caller id and set up a
profile for them). I suggested this twelve months ago though so I don't
think it will ever come to pass, I live in hope.
