- An SLC will almost certainly limit you to the use of a symbol rate
- lower then 3200, so chances are that you'll never even see a 31.2
- connection, let alone a 33.6 one, BUT, the other big enhancement included
- with in the annex to v.34 aside from the 33.6 speed is that it will allow
- all symbol rates aside from the 2400 one to connect at one 2400bps step
- higher. So, if you're limited to the 3000symbol rate, you're connect
- speed would be limited to 26.4kbps with a 28.8 v.34 modem, but with a 33.6
- v.34 modem you could theoretically connect at up to 28.8kbps. So, while
- you'll never see 33.6 connects over an SLC, it may be worth spending the
- extra few bucks for the possibility of getting an extra 2400bps out of the
- phone lines at lower speeds.
