I'm running a 386 box and an USR DS (v42bis) with no problems.
the only problem I got is, that one of my feeds runs a combination
of TB and USR, the Traily coming first. They seem not to be fully
compatible in v32 mode, but that's only a problem of the dialer (I
have to wait long enough to get the USR active on the other side).
On the other hand, enough 2400 with and without MNP5 come in, only
having to wait until my modem gives up trying a v42 connection.

Hope that helps you.
