56k modems rely on one less A-D conversion meaning your ISP has
to have digital lines (onramp) into a digital access server.
If your ISP has analogue lines or no digital access server
or you have a crap phone line, you'll get a max connection of
33.6k (except if it's cos you've got a crap line, then you might
get somewhere between 33.6 - about 50 odd).
Try http://www.56k.com maybe for more info.
