Well, may be it is the sagem that don't work well with bulk mode, but 
when it is in high speed mode, if you reach a limit (200-300kb/s), the 
modem produce lot's of error, and the atm data trame are broken (crc 
error, bogus pdu_length, ...). So because of these errors, the modem 
never reach the maximun rate.

In iso rate it work at 700kb/s with no problem.

Like I said 300-400kb/s vs 700kb/s on my computer.
I don't know if there are other measurements.
