The only way to really get 56k (53k) is to eliminate one of the
digital-to-analog conversions. You do this by using digital modems (modem
cards) rather than analog modems. For example, an AS5300 contains digital
modem cards inside as well as the DSU components. You plug your T1 directly
into the back of the unit. In this manner, you are not converting the
arriving signal back to analog one last time. This allows you to reach the
higher speeds. As mentioned before, an ISP would now have all digital
equipment, but modem-to-modem still adds that last conversion, which limits
the speed.
As far as a domain field, I don't think there is anyway for a router to
*directly* add that into the authentication. What you can do, however, is
set the router up to query a Raduis or TACACS server, which can perform
lookups on an NT user database. Cisco sells this product, but you can get
free Radius servers around the WWW.
Hope this helps.

Subject: RE: Modem baud rate
If you are connecting through regular phone lines, that will be your maximum
speed. It is not like dialing into an ISP where you will connect up to
53.6K. We just had this discussion today about upgrading a modem pool, and
saw that we really wouldn't get very much improvement on regular users
dialing in if we upgraded out 28.8K's to 56K V.90. I can't answer the other
half of your question.
As usual, send any corrections if I am wrong. :-)

Subject: Modem baud rate
I have configured 2611 router with a 8 port modem card to do RAS. for some
reason it ony connects at the speed of 31K i have set the baud rate at the
router and also at client to be 115200 bps. Any clue why?
Also is there a way to add the NT domian name in the router so it will check
username, password and domain to authenticate.
Thanks for the input.
