- The professor is incorrect. Plain and simple. I have 3 voice grade lines
- at my home: 1 is used primarily for voice but I have used a modem on it,
- 2 have modems on them at all times (a BBS). All are basic voice service
- lines, not data service. All work equally well. All have achieved connect
- rates of 31200/31200 under V.34+ on a regular basis using USR Courier
- V.34+ Dual Standards (aka "V.everything").
