To give you your 53 kilobit connect, the ISP uses special equipment and digital lines at their end. They take advantage of the fact that CO trunk lines and switches are digital -- by not converting back to analog, they gain signal quality. Two standard POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) modems connecting to each other can only achieve a best speed of 33.6 kilobit/sec. Additional equipment (such as your PBX) may well further reduce the usable bandwidth. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
