I'd like to follow up on Jim's suggestion by
contributing the speeds I have been getting lately
using my Best Data V.92 external serial modem (Smart
One, Model: 56SX-2), the fastest serial modem I have
ever found in many years of searching, and asking Gus,
since he has a solid connection which delivers DSL at
full speed, what speeds he was able to obtain over
those lines using a serial modem.
Here are the connect speeds I found in my currently
available syslogs.

Anyone else able to correlate their 56K modem speeds
with speeds obtained using DSL?
Does the fact that these two modes of transmission
utilize different bandwidths invalidate this effort?
In other words, should a line capable of clean voice
frequency transmission also be capable of clean DSL
frequency transmission?
Or, put a slightly different way, would a line
incapable of providing clean voice frequency
transmission, necessarily be incapable of clean DSL
transmission?
