Are you certain of this? My knowledge may be out of date - it it based on
33.3 modems, not 56K modems - but I know that for the 28.8s and 33.3's that
I used, the phone-line speed could not exceed the serial-port speed. (This
was a widespread problem for WIndows users, for example, when 28.8s first
came out - the maximum serial-port speed the Win driver would set was 19200
bps, causing the 28.8s to drop back to 14.4.)
If this restriction has been dropped in 56k modems, how do they manage it?
How big are the buffers in 56K modems that they can handle the kind of speed
discrepancy you're describing without losing data?
