I don't know, but what is strange is that if I force my modem to 
synchronize to a lower speed 6500kbits/s, and if I only download there 
aren't any error. If I start uploading there are errors.

In 7000kits/s there are always errors even if I download only.

Maybe because bulk is reliable, the modem should keep data in his memory 
before receiving an ack and it is very painful because it had a small 
memory and haven't enough memory for the atm frame that are coming from 
adsl.

No, I was referring to the modem "high speed mode" : in bulk mode if the 
rate in more than 1024kbits/s, the modem change an internal timeout.
