I have tried two other things.

I moved the computer to a different location less than a mile from the
phone company switching office. I still have the  26.400 connection.

I then spoke with my isp tech support who gave me a different dial in
number. (The original number I was dialing into is set up for 56k v.90.
The new number was to a 33.6 modem. Both are in the same bldg and
apparently use the same phone lines.) When I dial in to the 33.6 modem
I connect at 33.6 without a problem from both of my test locations. My
isp also tells me that most connections to the v.90 modem average
around 44-48k. A couple of other people I have talked with also verify
this.

There is apparently something different between v.90 and 56k-flex. This
is addressed even on Harmony's site. The problem is that the v.90
drivers they have on their site give me errors which give me reason to
question what I have.
