- I have a question.
- I am taking a networking class and my prof said that the highest speed
- that can be achieved over the voice grade line (telephone line) is
- 25,900 bps. I suppose he was talking about physical transmission, without
- taking compession into consideration. My question is whether it is correct. And
- if it is, does it mean that 28.8 modems do not operate at full capacity?
- And I also see people in this newsgroup talking about 33.6 bps modems.
- I will really appreciate if someone can clarify the situation for me. If you
- think that the posting will be unnecessary, e-mail the answer to me. By the
- way, is there a FAQ for this newsgroup?
- Thank you.
- Oleg.
