- Yea, but I doubt you'll ever get a SNR large enough to support a
- trellis of that size!

- But you raise exactly the right point. The total bps is a function of
- the symbols per second and the bits per symbol. The channel puts
- effective limits on both of these. The telcos have not (nor would I
- expect they ever will) spec the analog voice network for these two
- parameters in any realistic way.
